For once I am glad I did not jump on the bandwagon and buy a pet rock, a mood ring, a talking bass mailbox or a pair of those cute but not so innocent rubbery shoes.I personally think rubbery things should be employed for covering for one's pee-pee from STD's, protection from fungal terrorist assault at the downtown Y's shower floor and an occasional fun lead-free flex toy.
It was reported that one only needs to Google "Crocs" to learn that not only are adults under assault from the fashion police for wearing these shapeless things (see Keep It Classy) but children are being eaten ALIVE by mall escalators.
The horror to be a parent at a J C Penny's White Sale one minute and then next on your way to fit your child for a prosthetic device.
I hate to say, but for once with all my problems, I am glad to be in my own shoes and not these Crocs.
Can you imagine the scene straight out of The Jerk with all the refund checks they may have to write if found at fault.
My check writing arm just hurts thinking about it. Not the money, "just all the Stuuuuuuuufffff."
Ok, back to PT.
*No one has died....yet. But in Singapore, a two-year-old girl had her big toe ripped off in an escalator.
