My Right Foot
Stuff I hate April 22nd, 2009I defy you to tell the difference.
Sesame Street’s Ernie with his Rubber Ducky….. (fast forward 30 seconds past intro)
And my right shoe that I swear did NOT squeak when I tried them on at the store. Why, shoe people? Why?
I broke out these spring sandals yesterday and everyone — I mean everyone — knew when I was on approach.
I can’t sneak up on people anymore. I squeak up on them. Damn shoe.
I’m sorry if you get the Rubber Ducky song in your head all day. Although it is kinda catchy.
Incidentally, I had an Ernie doll as a child. He had the cutest, troll-like mop of hair until the Scissors Incident of 1971. Sorry, Ernie, but I still loved you bald!
Stumble it!

earthtoholly — You know what? I wore these stupid sandals again and I swear they got louder! That’s it. New sandals this weekend.
Crabby Blogging Lady — That or ripping the shoe apart and starting over. Oh, and today was another screwdriver day, sadly.

Oh man….I remember that song. And then I had kids….and Barney came along….and the green grass grows all around and around and the green grass grows all around….
…you just gave me another idea on what bugs me and to write about it…

Fred G — That tune sounds vaguely familiar. I’m glad it’s “vaguely” because it means I won’t have it in my head all day!

My husband’s main guideline when shopping for sandals was that it not sound like he was having a certain bodily function when walking in them. I guess it is better to have a squeaking foot than a tooting foot!

Audrarian — No doubt a squeak is better than a toot. If that’d happened to me, I would have gone barefoot the rest of the day and thrown the shoes out. If you’re interested, I did get rid of this pair after buying the same pair online. They came completely squeak-free!

You are still a cute baby-like elder child! Man like you will always find the interest from the trifle, and he will often have a good spirit.
