It was okay, though, because 300 other people were wearing them, too! And I have never put my son in any silly sailor-suit or frilly frock best reserved for girls.

My feet are shaped like cubes. I wear a small size for my size, but they're nearly as broad as they are long and then I have this wickedly high instep. Every time I needed shoes, it was a matter of finding the one pair in the store that my little cubes could be squeezed into without mangling them. I've never recovered from the trauma.

Did that make sense? Rain- I adore the preppy look, and I like oxfords, just not white ones. Two-tone ones are awesome. Margaret- Aw man, don't you be going all Britney on me!

I wonder what she'd do with a girl...no, I don't have to wonder. I've seen too many of them with so many petticoats they can't put their arms down. I must confess I love the preppy look, but the only place those are appropriate now are cocktail parties at the Club and toddlers so rarely throw cocktail parties at their clubs. I think of this shoe as the Gatsby Junior. I’d love a pic of sailor-suited kidlets playing on the Playstation. I wonder what she’d do with a girl…no, I don’t have to wonder.

And the oldest one goes to a private kindergarten, so his little dignity is saved by their uniform policy. But you haven't lived until you've seen three tiny children that look like one of those fake-vintage Hallmark images whaling on each other with sticks in the backyard. No bowl haircuts, thankfully.

Do they have bowl haircuts too? And please tell me she at least leaves out the hats. Julia- Sailor suits? Do they have bowl haircuts too? And please tell me she at least leaves out the hats.
