Jared's Alternate Lifestyle RETURNS!

Yes, lady's and gentlemen, Jared is at it again. Dressing up like a girl once is one thing, but when he's doing it again, you start to wonder if he is beginning to enjoy it!

As you all know, Jared is a teacher. And when teachers bet their kids to do something, the bet better be worth something or the kids aren't going to try and achieve their goal. The bet this year was that the sixth graders had to meet their reading goals. Every week, if a certain amount of kids met their goal, then a vote could be put forth in choosing teachers to dress up like cheerleaders. Of course, Jared was picked first, thus making him the cheerleader captain. Three other men were chosen as well, but no woman were...conspiracy?

I called up the high school cheerleading coach and asked if she had any old cheerleader outfits that I could have. Barbie, yes that is her real name, told me that there was a whole box that I could choose from. I ended up getting six skirts, four for the men and two to cut and piece together to make the skirts big enough to fit these larger men. They turned out pretty good. Then, we bought plain white shirts and just painted them to match.

Here is Jared, trying on his outfit. Yes, those are black leggings he has on....yes, they are mine, I am not proud to admit that! I think the red soccer socks add a nice touch!

The male teachers had to dress up in their costumes and play basketball against the sixth graders. Any sixth grader who met their goals got to vote on who became a cheerleader, but they also got to play in the basketball game. There were about 10 three-minute quarters in which giddy little kids played their hearts out. Whenever the kids scored a basket, the gym became full of cheers.

This lady, Dawn Loyd, is a really fun person and was one of the refs. The refs were totally paid off by the sixth graders because every call went their way. She had a little fun teasing Jared about his skirt. A few good men...cheerleaders! The teachers played it pretty easy against the kids. Jared would just stand in the middle with his arms up. He got called for a lot of fouls. He had way more than 5 fouls but luckily they didn't bench him. However, he did get called for a technical foul and was sent to see the principal who sent him to the corner for a time out. The four male cheerleaders did a half time routine to the song, "I like to move it, move it." I have it on video but I need to figure out how to put it on youtube. That will come soon!
