Things we hadn't started worrying about yet

 Sam Smith - Your editor has yet to uncover the aesthetic, sexual or political meaning of rips in jean pants and so he was quite unprepared for this further development reported in the New York Times:

A teacher making sure students were in compliance with the dress code at Simpson Middle School in Cobb County, Ga., did not find [Sophia Trevino's] outfit appropriate. Lined up with other students as they came into the school, Sophia was asked to put her hands down by her thighs to measure if the rip in her jeans was lower than her fingertips. It was not. She and 15 other girls were written up before first period.

I too have wondered about ripped jeans. When I see them I have to suppress the urge to offer people money to buy new ones.
Keep working on it.
