> The kids helped me through it. They're apparently quite used to clueless parents. :) I sort of suspect the real reason behind the parents being there is to give the kids a feeling of confidence at being able to show grownups what to do.

>I'm sure no one took notes on your wardrobe. You are lucky you can wear magenta. It's a lovely color, and I look terrible in it. I have very strong reactions to colors and color combinations.
> I wasn't stylish or trendy, but I was clean. And the kids probably didn't notice either way.I've been getting my clothes by mail order, on the cheap. I'll share the URLs, if you like. I wear jeans or something similar and tee-shirts or turtlenecks most of the time. I have a few long skirts but they're pretty well worn. I copied one; maybe I'll do it again. I used to sew, but I've hardly done it for a very long time. I think my son needs some shorts, though. . . .
I'm glad it went well.
