Dirty Sneakers are Cool:a "Convers"ation

Me: "Do you want me to wash your sneakers? They are really dirty."

Her: "Uh, NO! [insert exasperation] Dominique's grandmother washed her sneakers without telling her! She was devastated!"

Me: "Why?"

Her: "Mom! Dirty Converse are cool!"


Her: "Besides, clean white Converse look like nurse's shoes."
