[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 483497, member: 1514"] If it will give you any consolation, one time I took Cory shoe shopping when he was around 15 because he wanted boots. Now he really didnt need these boots, he just wanted them...ya know to look cool. He wanted Timberlands, because that was the "cool" thing that everyone was wearing. I had no idea they were that expensive until we walked into the mall and saw the prices. OMword! The ones he wanted were well over a hundred bucks. I found a pair on sale for about 40 but they were too orange for him. We both ended up in a lock down throw down mode. He was pitching a fit he needed these boots. I told him he most certainly did not. Heck, his father didnt get those boots and he worked in construction boots everyday to earn the money to BUY the stupid boots. His dad worked in boots bought at Walmart! We could go to Walmart and buy a pair of boots that looked exactly the same but they just didnt have the name Timberland stamped on the side. By this time, we were screaming at each other in the middle of the shoe store...lol. The employees were staring, customers were giving us a wide berth. Tony managed to herd us out the door and to the car. Needless to say Cory didnt get any Timberlands. Fast forward about 6 years. Cory came home with a new outfit. Nice pair of jeans, white shirt with dark blue stripes with light blue stripes...and LIGHT BLUE Timberlands! I said to him...Cory...I thought you would only wear that certain color of brown Timberlands! He said to me...Momma...I got this entire outfit for 50 bucks, that was a deal! Do you really think I would pay my good money on expensive boots? LMAO! Now he wouldnt pay that kind of money for anything. [/QUOTE]
