The genie is indeed out. I read this thread before going to bed last night. This morning over cornflakes, I saw the black band on my 13 year old son's arm. Instead of flipping out (as is my wont), I quietly nodded at the bracelet and asked him who the "lucky" girl was. He feigned innocence while turning six shades of purple. Then I quietly told him what I knew about the meaning of the bracelets, especially the black one, and asked him if he remembered WWJD. He removed the bracelet, brought it right to the garbage can and apologized to me. He then went into the other room and gave his mom a big hug. She was both surprised and glad to have the hug. I'll tell her tonight what it was about.
Good for you. This whole story is unbelievable.
I sent this article to my wife and she talked to my daughter last night, she no longer wants to wear them.
We dont think she had any idea what they might be about. And seemed disgusted with the idea, thank goodness.
We used to flip quarters in school, odd man wins. Many times I lost my lunch money. But even that was later in junior high. In elementary we just all just stood around and looked goofy or chased each other over the playground in our free time.
