Kids should be barefoot all summer! [I Like to Be Barefoot]

For me summer meant no school and no shoes unless absolutely necessary. This weekend I saw something that seemed weird and confusing. I noticed an early teen young girl in her yard with a showering sprinkler flower creating a wide spread mist in the yard. The girl was wearing a bathing suit and (I had to look twice.) white socks as she soaked up the mist. When I was young wearing socks with a bathing suit would be the ultimate fashion disaster, not to mention the disgusting feeling of wearing heavily soaked socks as you enjoyed the water. Are foot phobias taking over? This was not the way to enjoy cooling off under a spray of water and running through the grass. I'm all for wearing what you like, but this is crazy.
