busying
the past week was great
kyle came down and visited, and we did a lot of sitting around
but his sisters had given us a gift card to the olive garden
and we decided to make the most of it
we were going to be fancy, and pretend to be wealthy
i wore a black dress and black coat with my new rabbit fur scarf
and kyle wore his suit
the day we were going to go, he realized that he didnt have shoes and REFUSED to wear his hiking boots with a suit
so we embarked to find him a pair of decent shoes at the salvation army
we walked in and were there for no more than 30 seconds when we found a pair that looked alright and fit him
they even had the tags still on them, and they cost $2.00!
'what a deal!' we thought
but we were so very wrong
we got back to my moms house and upon trying them on again, we realized that they were leaving black smudgy marks on the floor
we made him stand on a plastic grocery bag, and for some reason, the shoes were sticking to it
every time he picked a foot up there was a terrible squelching/ripping noise
we ignored it
the next day we left, and our first stop with being fancy was the art gallery
before we got out of the car i happened to notice kyle's shoes
and that the toe was missing from the right one
'what happened to your shoe?'
'i dont know...the toe fell off'
'thats weird, oh well, im sure they'll be fine'
we poked around for a few minutes inside before we began to notice that something was very wrong with his shoes
there were more than just black smudgy marks on the floor now
whole chunks of his shoe were falling off
at one point i kicked the side of his shoe, and a large piece of sole broke off
kyle was upset 'SEE?! THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU KICK THEM!'
the stress of the shoes was beginning to get to him
when i noticed a large crack running up the side of his shoe, i teased him and couldnt stop laughing
we pressed on, looking at some wax sculptures where there were black chunks of wax scattered about the floor
when we left that room and moved to the next, kyle raced past me and payed no heed when i told him i wanted to look at something.
all of a sudden i heard a man shouting from behind us
'excuse me, excuse me!' the security guard said
'did someone loose a heel?'
my jaw dropped as he held a giant piece of shoe, probably the entire heel of kyle's in his hand
i said no, and we quickly left the building
his shoes were disintegrating fast
and we needed to get him some new ones
we went back to the salvation army and since they were charging $8.00 for a pair of old shoes that were completely falling apart, we simply exchanged them for kyle's old ones
p.s. the rest of the fancy date was fun, but boring to write about, im sure.
