Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles | Tuesday | Period 4
“Well, we’re now halfway through the class,” Neal informed his students as they arrived, seated (as always) with his feet up on the desk and leaning back in his chair as far back as it went. “So today, I thought I’d take advantage of all the resources we have at this school to work on something kind of different.”
Sure enough, there were several racks of clothing scattered throughout the room, complete with just about any type of clothing a person could want in all imaginable sizes. Don’t ask how. They just were.
“Sometimes, when you’re running a scheme, you’ll need to take on a persona,” he explained. “Maybe it’s a mob leader, maybe it’s a housewife. A big part of it is being able to dress the part. If I showed up in a suit like this one to try to make a case for my being an FBI agent, I’d fall pretty flat.”
…It was true.
“So I have assignments for each of you. I want you to come up with a costume that matches your description, then pair up and try to guess each other’s. Everyone clear? Go for it.”

Re: Activity!
The green wig came off immediately, as Kenzi stared at her card. A scarf helped. A little.
Of all the things she'd never aspired to be... Jeans, a big sweatshirt, sneakers. A big Mom-purse. Honestly, she wasn't totally clear on what someone who stayed home and dealt with kids wore. Or not kids? Unclear!
