Today, Victor learned what happens when you repeatedly stick your shoe between the slats of the railing alongside a walkway over a zoo enclosure.
1. Your mother tells you DON'T DO THAT because YOUR SHOE WILL FALL.
2. Indeed, your shoe falls into the maned wolf/anteater enclosure.
3. Your mother becomes upset. And then she says I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT.
4. You are very upset because (a) now you have only one school shoe, (b) it was a cool shoe, (c) you are in big trouble with your mother.
5. You have to walk back to the car with one shoe.
6. Your friend, who was obedient during the whole outing, points out that SHE was obedient and still has TWO shoes.
7. You must now depend upon the anteater's keeper to *maybe* retrieve your cool shoe and bring it to the front desk this evening.
8. You will have to discuss the situation with your father when he gets home. Wait. Jeremy doesn't care about shoes. Scratch that.
8. You will wear rain boots to school tomorrow.

And yet, somehow, by tomorrow morning he will decide the rain boots are cooler ANYWAY, thus making the lesson moot.
And he'll stick his foot through again the next time you go.
Why do we have kids again? :)
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA! Men don't care about cool shoes. So true. So true.
When I think of the lecture you gave, I think back to Ralphie who explains, "Adults always love to say stuff like that, but we knew better - it was always better to not get caught..." he was gonna do it.
I had to have my son tromp through the grocery store with no shoes on b/c he was too lazy to put them on before shopping. Consequence is a bitter teacher....
I think I would have been equally exasperated, but I have to say it's a very funny story. Even if you get the odor out, sounds like his shoes will be quite mismatched, which will be a great conversation starter. :)
