Realizing your parents weren't always right!

The year I was to start 8th grade we moved to a much larger town. I went from having 15 classmates to over a hundred classmates. This was also during the big Satanist scare. Geraldo had just done the big prime time special on Satanist and their ways. And I remember my grandma telling me that people who wore all black were evil and I was to avoid them. Anyways I'm now in my new school in Algebra class and sitting in front of me was a guy wearing all black. I was scared to death, all the stuff my grandma told me was running through my head. Poor guy, I wouldn't look or talk to him when we had to trade papers to grade. Finally after about a month, the guy turned around and asked me what my deal was. I spilled everything bout what my grandma had told me and he just laughed. He was a skateboarder and that was the style then. He was actually a pretty cool guy once I got to know him more.
