As I commented before, I think Franklin may be the nicest one out of the whole bunch.

It’s a sweet sentiment, but not necessarily true. A rule against, for example, letting young children watch R-rated movies; they might really really want to and cry because of that. Doesn’t mean that’s a bad rule.

And then, at around this same time the following year, was when Peppermint Patty had AGAIN been at war with the school dress code—as they had also banned the wearing of shorts, by girls, which Patty ALSO had TERRIBLY resented.

Correction, to my last comment here, from six months ago—it was TWO YEARS LATER, when PP would fight the school board, for her right to wear shorts to school, not the following year.

There’s a reason for rules.
