I've figured out a long-term solution to our nation's declining literacy rates

I once commented to my husband, "Why do parents let their daughters wear those cheer shorts with words across the butt?  Don't they realize they are just asking men and boys to look at their daughter's bottoms?"  He replied, "They're already looking there.  Now they have something to read."

What if we put vocabulary words on their butts instead, or paragraphs of Shakespeare, or the Declaration of Independence?  "We hold these truths to be self evident..."

Sapid (adj.)

having flavor

Maybe we can get Nike to get on board with current curriculum standards.  Or maybe we can use SAT words.  It would be hard to fit some of those words on a size 0 pair of shorts.  I guess we can just use a smaller font.  Oh, that could even help detect vision problems in boys. 

"Mom, I think there's something wrong with my eyes."
"Why's that son?"
"Well I can't read the girls' butts..."

How could we improve girls' literacy rates?  Maybe Justin Beiber or Bruno Mars could toss in a few vocab words too, do for literacy what We Might be Giants has done for science.

Here's a link to Rachelle Beaudoin's website where she sort of stumbles onto my idea, albeit with a little less academia in mind. https://risd.digication.com/rachelle/Cheer_Shorts.

So what do you think?  If you like this idea give me an "S" give me an "A" give me a "P" give me an "I" give me a "D"... What's that spell...
