I see so many teenagers running around in town now with long black socks and Nike sandals. I get that they are easy to slip on. But, why the socks? Just why?
I tried to explain to my 11 year old that in all likelihood he will be short like his mother and father, and that adding extra horizontal lines like mid-calf length socks isn't going to help him look any taller. He still wears crew socks in long basketball shorts.
