I have a cute story to share with you. Monday evening we loaded the boys up into daddys truck to head to football practice. I followed them in my van because my husband had to leave straight from ball practice to go to North Carolina for a business trip. We must have asked our middle son Devin about 20 times to put his shoes on. Well when we got to practice he decided to put on some flip flops that he found in the floor of the truck rather than his shoes-no big deal-at least he had shoes on!! lol!
So....Tuesday morning rolls around and I am searching the house frantically for Devins shoes. Keep in mind that we just moved into this house so all of my "extra" shoes are in a box somewhere that I have not unpacked yet. Finally I realized that the shoes must be in Daddys truck. So I grabbed a pair of shoes out of my oldest sons closet and put those Devin. They should fit him in about a year and a half...lol!! I was desperate!!
Devin comes home from school and says that his shoes were too loose all day-poor baby!! Danny will not be home until Thursday evening so I take Devin and Dylan to the shoe store next to WalMart while Daniel is at football practice. I didn't want anything to expensive because I just bought him a brand new pair of $55.00 sketchers. That is a lot for a six year old right??!! So I find these cute little shoes that will look perfect with his cacky and blue shorts with the collared shirts-he needed some anyways. His tenneshoes are black and some other odd color-but he LOVED them. He tells me in the store that these are "girl" shoes. I was too tired to argue and we had already tried on about five pairs so I bought them anyway and continued to assure him that these were in fact BOY shoes. I also went ahead and bought a pair for my youngest son Dylan.
This morning he was sitting there half asleep as I put his "girl shoes" on and he looks down at his shoes while he is rubbing his sleepy eyes and says just so casually-"yup...I'm telling you...these are girl shoes." I just laughed to myself and told him how nice he looked. Dylan is not quite as polite as Devin. He tossed his to the side and said-"I aint wearin girl shoes" Hmmm...should we work on the manners or the grammar first?? :)
I asked Devin to tell me all about his day and he says-
"Well-it all started on the bus. I told this girl next to me that these shoes look like girl shoes but really they are boy shoes. But she looked at them and said-nope-they are girl shoes. But then I told her that girls don't wear blue but she looked at them again and said they were girl shoes."
Dylan cuts in and says-"Im not wearing those shoes mommy because then everyone will say-Dylans wearing girl shoes, Dylans wearing girl shoes."
These boys were cracking me up!! So-basically I spent $36.00 on shoes that will never be worn again but how can you put a price on this story and these pictures? They were making me laugh so hard!!!
Daddy will be home tomorrow and Devin can get his sketchers back. I think I will send his daddy to the store with him to pick out a pair that will match his little blue and cacky shorts!!
