I find that in my son's case its best not to show any reaction..I can see him looking and waiting for me to say something negative ...but I've learnt... ha ha ...if I say nothing he soon gets bored and the offending item of clothing gets dropped kicked to the floor in his bedroom !!...now there's a perk of getting older ...wisdom and how to outsmart a teenager !..LOL..do not show any weakness..do not react no matter how ghastly the hair looks ...! close your eyes when entering their bedrooms...!where protective clothing and gloves when going to collect dishes and cups from their bedrooms !...Tracy please tell me you know what I saying..fellow sufferer.. . ..i mean parent of a teenager !
I will keep that in mind so I don't go nuts when my son hits that age!

Schnuppi, how old are you ( if you don't mind me asking?? ) you have got to be somewhere close to my age... Everything you said sounds just like when I was growing up...

We didn't tie our shoes either... we had a way that we laced them so they wouldn't slip and then stuck them down into the side.... a lot like what you see kids today doing, but we all seemed to have a white shoe fetish then.... or Birkenstock slip on's... I remember when they got REAL big for a while.
I just turned 28!

Yep, we tucked the laces in on the sides and the big thing were white sneakers. You either had the Adidas Superstars or the Nike Converse. KSwiss were ok too :huh: Birkenstock's weren't that popular in my group but I do remember them. Gee, we really had a dress-code going on
That explains it..... I'm Turing 22, but I always ran around with a group quite a bit older than me... My hubby just turned 28 on the 9th of this month.

That's funny! It's pretty cool to talk to someone who grew up pretty similar to myself - even though we were in different countries :D Memories, memories...
