April 11 - Day of Pink

Today is the Day of Pink - the International Day Against Bullying, Discrimination, Homophobia and Transphobia. Many schools commemorate the day by dressing in pink in support of the anti-bullying movement. It began in 2007 when students at a Nova Scotia high school decided to all wear pink in support of a student who had been tormented after wearing a pink shirt.
Devlin and Ceilidh reminded me last night of the need to wear pink. For Ceilidh - this is not an issue. Almost 90% of her wardrobe is comprised of pink hues. Devlin has no pink shirts. It was suggested that he borrow Ceilidh's pink socks, but he manly indicated he would wear one of Ceilidh's shirts instead. I took out several and he selected the plain, dark pink, long-sleeved shirt. Meanwhile, Ceilidh dressed in pink from head to toe.
Devlin's only complaint about the shirt? It smelled like Ceilidh. Considering it was a clean shirt, I advised him the "smell" was laundry soap, and that his shirts also smelled the same. Shrugging, he donned the shirt and looked somewhat pleased.
