I'm Getting Old

 

I surreptitiously took this photo the other day of a trend I am seeing with more frequency. People buying white sneakers and then wearing plastic bags on them presumably to keep them looking white. I'll go out on a limb and assume that at some point, they will get to where they are going and remove said bags while inside and then put on the bags again to return home. 

I don't understand all the labor that goes into preserving something that likely nobody will notice. The only reason I noticed was because this boys feet were twice as wide as normal, kind of like a duck and flapping in the breeze. But then again, perhaps that is one of those assumptions that makes an A$$ of me (reference to an old saying about assuming). Perhaps in the world that I don't frequent much anymore, the cleanliness of white shoes is actually quite noticeable among the younger generations, but only when inside.
