Why My Beard Is Pink

At the beginning of the year, I put a system of class points into place. The class got points for excellent behavior in the hall, for smooth transitions in class, for fantastic participation. The deal was, when the class reached 25 points, they got to choose from a menu of prizes.

As they approached 25, the class voted and decided that, when they won, they would be daring me to do something and I couldn't refuse.

Once they got to 25, they decided that the thing they would make me do was to dye my hair and beard pink.

They reached 25 points last week. Today, I dyed my hair and beard pink.

And there ya go.
