The rest is silence

Kids A picture is worth a thousand words. So what is this ad trying to tell me, with just a picture of eight children and no other clear words to communicate to the world? My inner child reminds me that this must have been how we used to look at the world when me and my two brothers had to put on our freshly starched shirts and those stupid but new-fashioned knickerbockers to go to church on Sunday. They scratched and bit my skin so badly. But my father was proud that, in his eyes, all three of his sons were styled like something out of the latest fashion catalog. Fortunately, things are different today. Today's youth no longer knows any fashion dictates. They wear what is comfortable and what they think is cool. And if these eight children in the picture still look so indifferent to the world, it's probably only because they're sad that their parents didn't know such cool labels back then. (pan)
