Tom: Throughout the ages, teenagers have always looked to make fashion statements that their parents disapprove of. It's part of growing up and declaring your independence. If my kid decided to get spinning hubcaps instead of piercing his schnozola or wearing spiked green hair, I'd be thrilled. And your mom should be, too.
Ray: In fact, that's how you can get your mom off your case, Matt. Tell her you're trying to decide between the spinners and getting a tattoo of Dick Cheney on your forehead. She'll warm right up to those spinners.
