Absolutely. Just because I give socks to my daughter for Christmas, she isn't going to start wearing matching socks. She loves to wear mismatched socks, and I don't like it, so I don't buy her pretty socks.

I can't believe the number of people who don't read. I sat next to a woman in her 30s on the train on Friday night, and she just looked out the window. And it was dark.
