When I was in high school, our youth ministry did a sports camp for the children in our community. We taught basketball and soccer to 1st-6th graders. Due to my inability to play soccer, I taught b-ball all week. At one point during the week a young kid walked up to me and asked me why I wore the type of socks that I was wearing. Quick sock background: Before ankle socks became the craze, I rocked them! Yes, I am stepping out and saying that I was part of a trend before it was trendy. It is a rare occasion for me to be associated with any type of trendy clothing. Unless an old t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops become trendy, my style will rarely reflect "new, cool, or trendy." Anyway, I rocked the ankle socks because I was a golfer. You see my life revolved around golf during the summer. Well, you can't really play golf without shoes, so the summer tan line was absolutely ridiculous to say the least. I chose to wear ankle socks, so my tan line didn't come halfway up my leg. Back to the story... so this kid questions sock choice, I explained the reason why I wore them and thought nothing of it until a week later. The kid's mom came up to my mom at church the following Sunday and proceeded to tell my mom that her son had come in from playing basketball one afternoon after camp with his long socks pushed down into his shoes. She asked him why he was doing something like that, and he said, "That's how Michael wears his socks." Wow! I influenced a kid's choice of socks!
