KIDS THESE DAYS- (or... at least mine!)

How many years has it been now that parents, have been longing for the styles to change for our boys? I've been hankering for a new and improved way of wearing jeans since jeans began costing as much as dinner for two at a 5 star restaurant!! I'm looking for the halls of our schools to achieve some class and style once again. Sheeze-this has been going on way too long!! I'm aghast when I notice that I've gone a fair amount of time without a comment or thought as to the schulumpyness of my sons. Have I become accustomed to my boys' cute little buns hanging over the top of their belts?! Heaven forbid!! (I've rationalized my blind eye because I felt that this form of rebelliousness is so much better than some other forms of delinquency--which I still stand by.)

I'm recording this ridiculousness here in blog world, because I have a feeling years from now, these boys of mine will be denying with vehemence, that they would ever have been a part of such nonsense. I feel sure that they will deny ever having graced the world with such close proximity to what might warrant a charge of indecent exposure! (I, by the way-NEVER wore halter tops-NEVER!)

I haven't been able to find documentation of this style of 'hip' jean wearing on my Joe-but we grown-ups all remember it starting with Joe in the mid 90's. Clark is guilty too. Though I am happy to report that I have noticed his belt level has begun to creep back up to where it could now be deemed normal attire.

I hope and pray that Brain has just a few more months until he'll slowly come to his senses and begins to notice how ridiculous it looks to show so much of what should be covered by several layers of cotton and or polyester!!
