Day 39 - The Trip To School

2 stories and a "Is this seriously my life?" moment from last night:

1) Normally, I let the kids pick their shoes which results in E&O wearing the same Spiderman light up shoes like always...Summer is the only one who ever picks a different pair.

Again, typical right?

However, today Summer throws a Tim Wakefield knuckleball at me and picks up a pair of shoes I have never seen before...

Now, they perfectly match her outfit so I assume that was the reason behind the pick.

I thought wrong.

These shoes squeak. So imagine a pair of LA Gear light up shoes...and then replace the flashing lights with a squeak like you hear coming out of one of those bike horns kids have...

And then imagine that sound happening every time she takes a step.

Every. Single. Step.

Naturally, as were walking into the school I have parents walking by me laughing...Not at the squeaks...They're laughing because they can hear me telling her that we're taking off those shoes as soon as we get home.

On our way out I pick Summer up (to avoid the squeak) and a teacher asks me if that was her with the squeaky shoes...

I say yes.

She replies "Bless your heart. Have fun with that!"

Thanks lady...

2) On the ride home, I'm talking to Summer and listening to music like always when I decide to butter her up.

I ask her if she knows who the prettiest girl I know is...She says nope.

"Well, you're the prettiest girl I know Summer!"

"No I'm not Bictor...I'm not even waywing a dwess..."

Alright. Fair enough.

3) The "Is this seriously my life?" moment:

Last night I'm sitting on the couch with my sister when I cross my leg...At that point, Martha (aka Tica) tells me I have crap on the bottom of my shoe.

Like every other person would, I check my shoe.

Nope...It's not crap...It's play-doh.

So if you're keeping score at home I'm 25 years old and I have play-doh stuck on the bottom of my shoe...and I absolutely did not anticipate this happening to me when I was in college...

Is this SERIOUSLY my life? Yeah...It is.
