I think you're right, Mollyk. I do remember that i was given money to buy my first Speedo in 7th grade - the team had a deal with a sporting goods store and we bought them there. That was the first article of clothing that I can ever remember buying on my own (I rode my bike to the store). I don't ever remember choosing my own underwear until high school (but she was with me when we shopped). In terms of Speedos - Mom's have an awful habit of buying clothes a little on the large size (he will grow into them) which is a horrible idea for Speedos as boys need them to fit properly and not be loose.
