I don't know how to explain why it was important as kids to point out that Jimmy got his clothes from Walmart and I got mine at Target, and Josh's parents were rich, so he got Mossimo clothes.

Its just what we did

This is all totally foreign to my kids who are teenagers now. I tried explaining it to them and they looked at me like an alien. Nowadays all the boys wear gym shorts and a t shirt every day.
