I read that there's a children's book called A Bad Case of Stripes. It's about a girl who loves Lima beans but doesn't eat them because other kids at school don't like them and she wants to fit in, and then one day she wakes up with thick horizontal stripes of bright colors all over her body. And then all these different remedies are tried on her but they just do all kinds of weird and freaky things to her body. But then finally she tries Lima beans, which an old woman claims is the cure, and she returns to normal and decides not to care if anyone thinks she's weird for eating and enjoying Lima beans.
So I guess you should be yourself and not care about liking something other people think is weird, or you'll wake up all stripey or something. But bullies are horrible and can treat you like garbage for things that really aren't that weird, such as liking Garfield comics. Or physically assault you for wearing a Super Mario T-Shirt.
That sounds vaguely familiar to me. My mom may of possibly read it to me or I heard it somewhere else
I guess the moral is that if you try to fit in you may end up standing out a lot more
