Benji’s Feet
My poor sweet Benji.
I was at my parents’ house today and they are repainting one of the rooms at their house. I came across some pictures and was looking through them and laughed when I saw a picture of Benji with his plastic shoes. And I’m not talking about crocs.
Benji is obsessed with shoes and wearing shoes. I think this is why. He spends the majority of his days at my parents’ house and, like I’ve talked about here before, they do not want my children to walk around with barefeet…especially outside.
Apparently, they’ll go to great lengths when his neglectful parents forget his shoes and they want to go outside.
So, here is their solution. Put his feet in plastic sandwich bags and tape ‘em on. No problem.
I remember when Ogre picked him up that day. I hopped in the car because for some reason they were picking me up and Ogre nodded his head back towards Benji’s feet. He hadn’t taken the plastic bags off yet because he wanted me to see. I guess he thought I wouldn’t believe him. And I probably wouldn’t have had I not seen it with my own eyes.
And maybe you wouldn’t have believed me, except now that you, too, can see this with your own eyes:
OH MY GOSH! GRACE! I knew your parents weird, but mental? You need to tell them that’s a choking hazard. Too strange!
I wear flip flops all day long because I don’t want to walk barefoot, but…. it’s only because my floor is sticky!!!!
LOL!! They’re harmless. Don’t worry they are the most hypervigilant people to ever watch a child. Much more so than me! I think it’s just a cultural thing. Mina is totally the opposite though, she hates wearing shoes!
