"And you understand, Cody, for the next week, or until your Mother deems it appropriate, you will be a third grade girl here at Jefferson and not a third grade boy. You will act accordingly or remain in dresses unto you do learn to do so." Ms. Callahan began "If you create any problems whatsoever, you will immediately be demoted to kindergarten where you will be expected to act like any other kindergarten girl. You are certainly dressed for the part. And from what I have been led to understand you might even feel more comfortable in kindergarten were there are other little ones who have little accidents like you have."
A sense of doom was settling in for Cody and it became even greater when his Mother mentioned that he would be called "Katie" while he was wearing dresses.
At the conclusion of the meeting, his Mother handed him his new Barbie lunch box. She kissed him good-bye and fussed with his dress a little bit more, giving him a pat on his lacy bottom.
