The REAL Purpose of the Blogosphere

Much to the frustration of our fashionista, the girls' school has a uniform policy.  Claire and her friends spend a fair amount of time lamenting the unfairness of the policy and assessing ways they might most effectively fight it.  Proposed resistance methods included simply not wearing a uniform (ultimately rejected as too difficult, since parents could just make the kids change into a uniform before leaving the house), or the more promising option of taking an alternate (presumably "fashionable") outfit to school and changing "after the mothers leave."

Claire recently informed me that she and her friend Lizzie (who, in Claire's words, is also "extremely fashionable") had given the matter some thought and had sadly concluded that changing clothes at school wasn't really a viable solution.  Here's why:

Claire:  "It won't work for kids to change out of their uniforms after the mothers leave."

Me:  "Really? Why not?"

Claire:  "Well, I told Lizzie that if we did that our moms would just write about it on the blog."

Me:  "Lizzie's mom doesn't have a blog."

Claire:  "No - I mean on the blog." 

Me:  "What blog?"

Claire:  "Mom!  You know what the blog is!"

Me:  "I know what my blog is - are you talking about that?"

Claire:  "No.  I'm talking about the main blog - where the moms write everything so that they all know what the kids are up to."
