In the game of "Tacky vs. Tasteful", I pick two children's garments, and my daughter has to identify which is Tacky and which Tasteful. Then we briefly discuss the correct answer and reasons.

Like many young people, my daughter's eye is sometimes drawn to clothes by sparkle rather than style; brightness rather than smartness. So today at the mall I made up a game I called "Tacky vs. Tasteful".

I think this is a valuable exercise, because visual taste matters and can be taught (it's just patterns, and we're pattern-matching machines). As to whether playing the game audibly in public is Tacky or Tasteful...well, that I'm not so sure about :P.

That's a great game for Assimilating but confusing taste with value has unintended consequences. I know.

First learn the rules, then break them.
