In somewhat unrelated but kinda related new, my tiara from the F2F has made it into my classroom, where anyone who reads a Juliet part has to wear it. (Romeo's get fake swords and sashes made from old scarves.)
Several girls have started to claim it at the beginning of class and wear it on non-Romeo and Juliet days. It's a hot commodity.
It completely tickles me to have little teenage queens forget that they have it on and start working on grammar assignments in my tiara.
EDIT: Ah, JZ. Well, my days as a bad girl are, thankfully, of no use to you here. Needles, scary.
Yeah, it really is. And I don't have enough fake swords, so I also have a frosting tool and two dough kneading attachments for a mixer that I never use that I brought in as swords and daggers for Benvolio, Tybalt and Mercutio.
Teenagers "fencing" with dough kneaders and starting to use "do your bite your thumb at me, sir?!" as casual classroom insults?
Comedy GOLD.
I would stamp my feet and growl, but have been informed by certain people that doing that is terribly cute, not fierce
Hubby and I were walking home from dinner one night, when we passed a couple of girls looking in windows and squealing in delight at the displays. We managed to muffle our grins, but they heard him say to me, "They're cute." They spun on us, outraged, and one of them stamped her foot and proclaimed, "Not cute!" Hubby and I couldn't help but laugh, and the other one made kitten spitting noises and waved her curled fingers at us. They then scurried away, and we went home, still laughing.

Oh. Oh dear.
I do that. I really AM a teenage girl at heart, aren't I?
Yeah. But so are we all, really.

This reminds me of my five year old daughter, only it's "Not fair!" and she does this deeply furrowed brow thing to let you know she's really mad.
"do your bite your thumb at me, sir?!" as casual classroom insults?
Awwww. That was a standard in my middle school, too.
