Why exactly his daughter had to be the victim of this fuss was still a mystery to Tony. Other girls from her class wore the same pants and nobody said anything about it. He had seen these girls in the schoolyard himself. Why had they not been disciplined while Demetra had? It couldn’t be the boys, he thought.
Demetra herself didn’t understand either. She never thought she would be a “distraction for the boys in her class” in this outfit. Tony therefore wanted to put these boys in their proper place. But before he could do that, he was surprised once more by the next comment the principal made.
