What could drive me to such drastic measures?
You see, today I went shoe shopping. It is a task that I generally despise. I know, all women love shoes. Nope. In fact my husband is known to have a much larger selection in his closet than I do. I often call him Imelda. However, since losing all of my shoes, I have had to face my fears and accomplish this mind-blowing task multiple times. I don't think that either bare feet or flip flops (all that I was left with) would have gotten me through the winter months. So, I have taken on the task with gusto and almost get a little retail therapy high when I snag a good deal.
Today it only took two stores, and I did find a really good bargain. I was actually kind of proud of myself as I even ventured into one of those colossal shoe warehouses. You know the kind where they display the shoes on long rows of maze-like walls so that eventually you feel like if you haven't left a trail of bread crumbs you will never find your way out. They had every kind of shoe possible there and I left feeling overwhelmed and thought that I had seen it all...and then I came home.
I went to walk my dog and there she was, an apartment dweller who stopped to pet my master. I had never spoken to her, but figured that she could be amicable if she wanted to give the king some attention. Then I saw her feet...
She had these on:
And so I ask you WHY? That's all I can say, WHY?
I am sure that they are the most comfortable things on the face of the planet for whoever envisioned them and is probably making a huge amount of money selling them. But why would this pet-friendly soul want to put those on her feet? Do her toes each feel the need for individual attention? Are they like the poem where "this little piggy had none?" In that case, I cried WHY WHY WHY all the way home.
Can anyone tell me WHY?
Those are the ugliest things I've ever seen. I'm surprised your dog didn't bite her. She's clearly a disturbed and dangerous individual who should not be allowed to roam free.
ReplyDeleteThey are SO ugly but some of my friends wear them. I never would and I have to keep the comments to myself. But inside I'm all, "WHY?!" I guess they are more comfortable or something?
ReplyDeleteI showed the picture to my son, asking him (jokingly) if I should buy him a pair. His reply "Psycho Crocs?" Yep, that about sums it up.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, followed you over here from Cake Wrecks. Good to have another funny blog to follow.
wv: Sisse. No elaboration necessary - though, it does seem appropriate to the shoes, doesn't it?
Comfort still can't answer the WHY? She looked like a big Blue-footed Booby (look it up - Galapagos Islands).
ReplyDeleteJayne - I probably should have made a citizen's arrest, or had her involuntarily committed.
Whisper - If they are your "friends", tell them how ridiculous they look! You would tell them if they boogers hanging out of their noses, wouldn't you?
Right - Hug your son - he is brilliant!
