There is a masquarade dance at school and we all have to wear a costume. I haven't bought mine yet-- my dad won't take me to the store. I showed him online this costume I want (http://www.costumecraze.com/HIPP64.html) and he said it's a waist of money. The only costume I haven't outgroan yet is my Ralphie (from The Magic School Bus) costume from Grade 7 and my dad says "its Ralphie or nothin'". I only have one best friend and he is a boy so I can't barrow anything nice from him for the masquarade. What do I do? How do I get my dad to listin to what I have to say? I'm 16 and I deserve something nice for a change. And if I show up at the dance dressed up as Ralphie, everyone will make fun of me.
