Proof that you should not go birthday shopping w/ your 14-year-old in downtown Santa Cruz after consuming two mai tais at Hula’s:
Not only will he will walk away with $50 donut print Sanuk bedroom slippers…
…but he will also score a pair of WEED kneesocks.
“Was that a good choice?” tsked Jimmy when we met up at the car.
“No,” I replied sheepishly. What could I say other than the Appletons Gold Rum impaired my parental judgement?
Could have been worse. I’m pretty sure if I’d pounded two Scorpion Bowls, Saxon might have hoodwinked me into buying these…
When did kneesocks become fashionable again anyway?

I think that TITS may be more acceptable than WEED but I’m old. And yes, my kids are totally into knee socks. What’s next? White polyester pants?
Eileen, please be my designated shopper next time.
Another hilarious story! Don’t let him wear the socks to school. And Pete’s mad at me because I let Lauren koolaid her hair! It did stain dark red on the ends and she looks like a punk rocker. I took her today to get 3 inches cut off!!
Love the Rattypack!!!
OMG…so glad mine are grown so I can laugh out loud at these antics!! thanks Kim!
My grandson looks so handsome!
Good God… those socks are something else… The second set would have been so much better…lol
I did really like the kelly green/hot pink color combo, Bulldog.
When father Dave was that age his big thrill was scoring a Davey Crocket faux coonskin cap.
I like it! you are getting the hang of the short funny post with lot’s of pics. awesome baby!
