Kids and Clothes

As much as I hate the word “skank” and the way it simple rolls off your tongue, I have to say the way some of our parents allow our children to dress is absolutely unacceptable. Stop dressing your daughters like SKANKS. And your sons… give the poor kid a belt whether they want the pants worn around the crack of their ass or not.

Most parents don’t seem to give two rats asses about the way their kids are dressing. It is blatantly obvious just standing at the bus stop. I also live right next to a school where 4th and 5th graders come and go. So from my window I see kids go to school and come home from school. They trample over the neighbors lawn and head to their destinations wearing nothing but skank clothes. Sometimes I wonder if this part of the town is called Skankville to be honest.

It isn’t just the clothes these people wear. Look how the boys present themselves these days. They slouch over, wear pants around their butt crack (if it makes it that high), and can’t fully pronounce their words. And this rant is coming from a 31 year old who just not too long ago was in college. I mean we don’t need to toss ties around our necks and wear polished up shoes, but sheesh… let’s show a little dignity and respect towards not just others who have to look at the crack of your ass but to yourself.

Kids used to want to be perceived as a real man. Look at the older pictures of the kids 100 years ago who were not only 8 years old and how they puffed their chest out, stood tall, and had a belt on. They were proud of who they were, walked nobly, and dressed nice.

Now I can’t stand to see the skanky skirts on 8 year olds, the make-up that makes their eyes look all dark like they just climbed out of the great depths of hell, and the boys… well.. have some self respect and dignity and get pants that fit. Turn your ball caps either forward or backwards and stop this sideways crap. After you buy the hats take the stupid tags off them. And please… please… stop walking like you got a limp. Seems as though all the boys have a limp leg. Not sure what they are doing that’s causing it. They probably tripped over their ipods getting to their Xbox.

Here is a picture of Jesse James and Gang Member back about 100 years ago. This is how gangsters used to dress:

Today, 100 years later we have this:

I rest my case!

    Oh man don’t get me started.

    My daughter laughs at some of the odd things she sees at the mall. I tell her that although it’s allowed to dress like that, it’s not pretty at all. We joke about bellybuttons and buttcracks now and then too — we see both a bit much.

    [...] Silly Dad does a fine job comparing gangsters from 100 years ago to those gangstas of today. [...]
