Rainbow socks

Yesterday I brought Owen a pair of shorts and a T-shirt and told him it was time to get dressed. As he often does, he promptly rejected my offering and went back to his room to design his own fashion ensemble. It looked like this.

When I asked Owen if he'd like to wear two white socks that match, he said he liked red and white better. "Because I like every color," he said.

I don't engage in fashion battles except on special occasions, so we went to the park looking funky. Will started this rainbow-sock trend in our house; he also finds it pleasing to the eye to wear different colors. But I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm frequently throwing lone socks in the boys' dressers when I fail to find the match immediately.
