The paper tells me, not in so many words but in a photo (there's no version I can link to), that plaid skinny jeans are big for back-to-school this year.
We've come a long way from my adolescence, when we wore . . . plaid wide-legged pants.
Anyway,these days our family's back-to-school clothes are all uniforms, so the only issue is whether they fit, not whether they're cool. They're not. You're all going to be uncool together and like it. It's a life skill.
So is money management. One way to teach this is to raise the kids' allowances when they hit high school, and tell them they have to buy all their own school supplies. Amazing how this helps them figure out that they already have most of the stuff on the list.
