Shoes Fit For A Queen…I think not!

Last Saturday, I had an outing with the kids from one of my class. These were the same kids who made coffee for me while I was stuck in their toilet once. (Read the entry here).

.  .  .

I dunno. Maybe it’s just me with all the silliness embedded in my life.

The story goes like this. We were walking around IOI Mall after we’ve collected our movie tickets for the Water Horse. So, there I was. Walking with two almost-teen kids as if I was one of them (teenagers, I mean) and looking cool.

.  .  .

Tippity-tap, tippity-tap. Went my red shoes as we walked around, looking at the various items from the shops. Suddenly, my right feet felt lighter and sort of airy. And with the next step, I felt the cold tiled-floor under my right feet!

My shoes tore into half! And while my toes were still stuck to the front half of the shoe, the other back half was tied to my right ankle! What an embarrassing sight!

.  .  .

The kids were cool though and told me me pull my jeans down to make it cover my ankles. Then, I unbuckled the back half of the shoe and I continued to walk on with the front half. As I did this, I glanced around at the faceless people walking past me, I’m sure nobody noticed anything weird, like I have just only the front half of my right shoe sticking out from my jeans. BTW, I was too embarrassed to actually take a picture of that halved red shoe. Sorry no pic for that.

.  .  .

It was kinda weird walking around like this and the kids kept saying “Auntie Lisa, go buy an emergency pair of sandals lah!”

And so, we walked, err…I was sorta staggering along.

We went into the first shoe shop we saw and the kids were quite helpful by giving comments. “Nope, this is too aunty!” or “Try this!” or “Nice…but too expensive! RM49.90!”

.  .  .

In the end, the younger boy, WH, held a cute looking shoe to me.

WH : Try this on lah, Aunty Lisa.

blusher : What? This is for teenagers only lah! (shaking head)

WH : Why cannot?

blusher : I’m already 30 years old and you want me to wear a teeny-bopper shoe?

WH : You don’t look like 30 years old mah. Aiyah…nobody knows you’re 30 years old. You look young mah!

Sales girl : He’s right, you know. You don’t look that age. (grins)

blusher : But the kids call me Aunty Lisa. Aunty, you know.

Sales girl : (grins wider)

blusher : You guys sure?

Kids and Sales girl : YES!!!

blusher : (blushes) Okay, I’ll have this pair. Thank you.

.  .  .

So, I bought this really teeny-bopper pair of shoes. But come to think of it, I quite like it. It’s only RM20.00. It’s made of rubbery material with rubber soles. That’s really practical for me who always get caught under the rain when I go to work. This shoe will not be slippery like my usual sandals and it’s quick to dry. It’s comfortable and it makes me look kiddy. Hehe!

What do you think?

Did I tell you how well they fit my feet? BTW, it’s not like I’m trying to dress up like a teenager, but this is very practical for me. Hah!
