Off to the Walmart

Today is the day we do the dreaded, the buying of the tennis shoes. My son who will be 13 on thursday is a counrty boy through and through and all we hear at our house when it comes to buying shoes is boots, boots, boots. He owns several pair and thats all we will wear but his P.E. teacher has informed them all that a pair of tennis shoes is of the upmost importance for this class.(Which I had told him this already before school started but who listens to mom right). So anyway we are off to the Walmart store to buy tennis shoes which I could have already purchased a week ago before school started which leads me to believe I'm not so dumb after all. Am I in this boat alone. I seems like as my son reaches these teenage years we knows everything and we as his parents no nothing. Whats up with that?
