He's going to be really pi$$ed when I tell him my Mom wants a picture of him in them with his saxophone.
He's a challenge most days but he's still my boy.

I feel his pain!
My early days were in Hawaii in the 1960s. I went to school in a pair of shorts. No shirt, no shoes, just shorts. I went everywhere like that. I hated it when mom made me get "dressed up" in in flip flops and a shirt. I have photos somewhere of me at Easter Sunday getting ready for church. One year I had clothes two sizes too big, the next year the same clothes two sizes too small. One year for Easter I did not have one pair of shoes that would fit. I got to wear flip flops to church for Easter Sunday.
Even in high school the in fashion was bell bottom jeans and even elephant foot jeans. I hated them with a passion and stuck with Levi's 501 just because they were unchanged. Then the era of GIANT cuffs on the horrible "1970s style." Just shorts and a t-shirt is fine for me all summer and jeans when it gets cold. I think I own 5 or 6 long sleeve shirts total.
