What is not clear about "black or khaki pants only"?

I'm quite surprised that you've chosen to identify with the petulant, knife-wielding child in this article.

Sure feels like you're bringing some personal baggage to the equation... this article is too short on details to draw the conclusions that you have.

This woman is insane and belongs in a mental institution, not her kids. This article articulates exactly what I think

I for one always identify myself with a sad kid. Why should not I? I was a kid and I was sad too and I could become mad if told what pants to wear.
This is not just a sad kid and this is not just about pants. Did you ever grab a knife and threaten to kill your mom in front of your 7 and 9 year old siblings?
You're avoiding discussing action by discussing reaction.

Of course grabbing a knife is not good, but that if all his bizzare reactions are due to kinds of nonsense?
