The Trend is Over

I know many of you noticed that my child was wearing several colorful wristbands around his ankles and thought "how strange!"

He finally took them off!! The final count was 14 +/- a few that had broken.

It all started about three years ago when Todd came home from an A's game with two Livestrong like wristbands. Todd wore one for a couple weeks and Keith was determined to also. He uncomfortably tried to keep it on his wrist and finally said "mom this is Too Big!" It was then that I suggested he put it on his ankle. At the time I had no idea far he would go with it.

One turned into two, then three, then four and finally onto the other foot. I even think there were some friends who followed his example and wore one for a week or two here and there. For some reason I never said anything to him. I would never allow him to leave the house with clothes that didn't match but he went to church every week, was baptized, and even took an expensive family portrait with his wrist bands visible.
