It has become tradition that Gramary comes on out a few weeks before school starts to get the kids some new kicks. The amount of enjoyment one gets out of this activity is somewhere between the dentist and cleaning out the garage. Alright, so I'm exaggerating but it is usually a long tricky session of huffing, squeezing, bickering, pleading...well...you get the idea.
This time I went in with my new and improved attitude. I knew it would be awesome. I believed. Not only did each child come out with the perfect collection of shoes but I had one of my hardest laughs in years. Tears poured. I could barely breathe. Mary was squatting near the rack of shoes and leaned back on a shelf and popped it right out of the bracket. A cascade of shoes followed her to the floor. (No one was injured during this episode so feel free to smile...nobody will know.) It reminded me of the I Love Lucy episode where the bread just kept coming out of the oven and though you knew it was in no way possible you laughed anyway. I could not believe how the shoes just KEPT COMING. There were only so many on the shelf and yet they seemed endless. I tried to pick them up but the laughter got the best of me. The sales associate could not even get angry because I was such a giggling goon. I will laugh each time I see the new shoes. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving!!!
Thanks to the best grandmother EVER for another great shopping spree and one of the best laughs yet!!!! Love you, Gramary!!!
