I was looking at my summer shoe pile the other day.
Me: Hey
White Nike Flip-Flops: Yo man!
Naturalizer Sandals: Oh sure, it’s okay to talk to us? Are you sure the leather Merrills you got two weeks ago would approve?
Me: Hey! No need to get mad at me! I’d wear you every day if I could!
Black Easy Sprit: Mm hmm
Me: What? You think I’m lying?
Brown Nike Flip Flops: I think if you meant it you would wear me right now.
Me: Right now, here in my room?
Brown Nike Flip Flops: no, to work.
Me: I can’t wear flip-flops to work.
White Nike Flip-Flop: [pout]
Me: if I wore you to work I would get frostbite on my toes and they’d try valiantly to save them but couldn’t and then I’d get the flesh-eating disease while in the hospital and lose my legs and then I could just throw you all out.
All: [Silence]
Me: I thought so. See you in a month or so.
you certainly know how to put them in their place!
Summer shoes are *way* more fun than winter ones.. My summer shoes are falling out of the shoe organizer on the closet door – I think that’s a subtle hint that they want OUT.
