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 theseā¦
When did kneesocks become fashionable again anyway?
