Itโs funny how when you link some idioms to real-life events; you see how valid and wise they are.
The idiom, in this case, is โhe who laughs last laughs bestโ as the story of a lady who goes by the name Rose Lynn (on Facebook) is a suitable representation.
Rose Lynn is a Lawton Oklahoma student who faced a very embarrassing situation in her school. The case was so humiliating and demoralizing that most people would have delved into a bout of depression had it been them in her shoes.
Rose Lynn faced the humiliation of getting forced to go home because the school seemed her outfit โdistracting.โ
On that day, Rose Lynn was supposed to partake in a 20-minutes algebra class exam, but she got sent home.
She even pleaded with the school officials to at least permit her to write the exam, but it fell on deaf ears as they still disagreed and sent her home to change.
Rose Lynn was quite distraught, and she believed that her outfit caught the attention of the school officials because of her developed figure.
She proved her point via a photo she uploaded on Facebook of the outfit (which was not distracting or indecent at all) which consisted of a t-shirt, long cardigan, black leggings and boots.
And in the caption of the photo, she described the ordeal she went through and a sentence in the pretty long caption read โBecause Iโm developed farther than the average girl, Iโm required to go home and changeโ โBecause I look like a CURVY woman and may distract young boys, I have to miss classโฆโ
From those sentences, one can see how the whole incident had deeply disturbed Rose Lynn.
She even posted in the caption that the best thing the officials should have done wasnโt to tell her to change; instead, they should teach young boys to respect the boundaries of young ladies,
which makes so much sense.
Rose Lynnโs father Lance Miles agreed a hundred percent to his daughterโs post, by adding in the comment section that โif she had been built like a board or as round as a ball, she wouldnโt have been sent home, but since she had a figure, she was told to she had to changeโ
But Rose Lynn was not to be deterred. She didnโt sit and hope; instead, she took matters into her hands. The next day, she retaliated against the school by wearing an over-sized T-shirt and black leggings.
The T-shirt read, โIt doesnโt cover your crotchโ on the front and the back, โyouโll distract the boys.โ

This was written on black sharpie.
But ironically, that day, Rose Lynn was summoned to the office and sent home yet again.
Not for her outfit though, but because she didnโt have her student ID.
