Emergency! Emergency!

Not to worry.
It's fake.
Cool, huh?

This is homecoming week at Sarah's high school and each day the student's can dress up to fit a different theme. Monday's theme was E.R. day, when students could dress up like anything in the emergency room.

Sarah looked up how to make fake blood (corn syrup and food coloring) and scars (bubble gum). She created this grotesque wound for herself, along with a blood-stained t-shirt and head bandage.

The first sign that something was a little weird happened as she went into the school building. Why was that guy dressed like the Grim Reaper? That's not something in the emergency room...
Then she discovered her error: it wasn't ER day, it was -er, as in the suffix, day. Thankfully, she's a quick thinker and called herself a murder victim.
Somehow, she was the only kid in the entire school to misunderstand the theme. Fortunately, she has a good sense of humor!
