Parents make sacrifices, big and small, for the sake of our children. 
Like yesterday: I drove out of town to get the best (yet inexpensive, if I go to this particular store) cold cuts for my son's lunch. He's not a fan of the lunch meat at the local supermarket, and my other two sources have gone out of business.
It's not a long trip, less than 15 minutes, but it is a venture into a neighborhood where fashion sensibilities are quite different. I stood in line to pay for the food, behind a young man whose belt fell far below the place where belts are supposed to go. And unlike many other young men who wear their pants this way, he wasn't wearing a knee-length t-shirt. It wasn't a pretty sight.
I hope my son appreciates this--almost as much as I hope that the waistlines of fashionable young men's jeans will once again fall a lot closer to the waistline on their bodies.
