But what about the children?
You have to feel sorry for certain Spokane area teens this winter.
With no bitterly cold temperatures, they haven't had a chance to assert their burgeoning personhood by wearing shorts on subzero days.
Poor kids.
But maybe they have come up with other ways of expressing themselves. Perhaps they have redoubled their efforts to engage in herd-like in-your-face jaywalking near their schools.
In any event, we can only hope they find a way to demonstrate their independence and laid-back exuberance. God's speed, young scholars.
Though, you have to admit, nothing makes a statement quite like pants stylings that annoy adults.
