[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your son is going to school in shorts (especially those stupid lacrosse shorts) when it is below 40 degrees out, rest assured that they are being privately mocked by other adults (parents and teachers). Know, also, that by extension you too are being mocked.

But as no one has a sense of "This is something I shouldn't be doing..." these days, it won't matter to you. [/quote]

My 2 sons, now in college, wore shorts almost every day from middle school all the way through high school.  DH and I realized pretty quickly  that it was pointless to keep nagging them about this.  With teens you  have to pick your battles and we did.  Sure, some of their teachers and friends ribbed them about it, but neither they nor we cared.  Why should we?  They're excellent students, varsity athletes, do community service, attend religious services regularly, and earn enough in the summers for all spending money during the school year.  Most important, they're happy young men with strong family relationships and friendships.  So, go ahead and mock.

I will say, however, that they are now both in college in NY, and they do wear pants.:)       [/quote]
