So this last week was Red Ribbon week at Jordin’s school – a big anti-drug campaign. On Monday, he got a bright red plasic bracelet with a monkey on it that says “Don’t Monkey With Drugs” – he told us when he came home that they talked about how you don’t talk to strangers or take candy from them cause drugs are bad and “drugs are for losers”
So throughout the week, I’d randomly say, “Hey munchkin – I’ve got some drugs, ya want some?” – to which he’d reply, “no way! drugs are for losers! and you’re a winner daddy greg!”
So for each day of Red Ribbon week, there was a theme for the kids to dress up to:
Monday was “tie up drugs” – all the kids were supposed to wear a fun tie to school 
Tuesday was “Don’t get mixed up in drugs” – the kids were supposed to mix and match outfits
Wednesday was “put a lid on drugs” – the kids were supposed to wear a hat to school (but Jordin was grumpy on Wednesday and didn’t let us take a picture)
Thursday was something to do with cowboys or the west or something – the kids were supposed to wear western wear… so we skipped that day…
And Friday had something to do with showing spirit (sorry, don’t remember the tagline) – the kids got to wear either their school spirit t-shirt or a shirt for their favorite sports team
