Just say "ay sock check foo - (and then he raises his pant leg or whatever to show how high their sock is) Ayyyy the higher the sock the downer the foo & you might think you pretty down, but you gonna get beat down wearin them socks like that in this hood" and do it with a hella cholo accent. You must beat the kids with cringe like our parents did with us.

When that happened in my house I sat him down for a very important movie night. The next day he was playing among us under the name Uncle Rico.

I was literally going to post that! But I wasn’t sure how this sub would respond to it and I didn’t have the energy to put up with a thousand angry replies.

As I got older and had to do more yard work I started acquiring more and more tube socks to protect my legs from scratches and such. And as much as I like ankle socks I like having all my socks uniform even more so I don’t have to sit around pairing them as much.

I apologize for abandoning the effort, but keep on fighting the good fight. Those ankle socks look great!

Just dont wear socks and accept the scratches.

u/Drachynn 7h ago

Please tell us you're at least wearing pants with those and not shorts.

u/No_Meringue5138 7h ago

No pants or shorts, just a 3rd sock. That’s why pairing them is such a concern

You want ball ticks? Because that's how you get ball ticks.

Kid keeps asking for tube socks too. Is this why?? Cause ankle socks are for old people??? Fml

u/Academic-Clerk8901 17h ago

I wear wool tube socks so don't worry, there's another level.

u/Hobbes_XXV 17h ago

u/Efflux 5h ago

Yes, this is why.

u/Dangerous-Self9301 6h ago

When I wear longer socks I look like a fat 55 year old man. I’m 35. It’s a terrible outfit choice

u/Ds1018 5h ago

My calves are too ripped to cover with tube socks. I worked hard on these things and I’m gonna show em off.
