I don't know why this just popped into my head, but I was thinking about crocs tonight...
Within the first two weeks of your arrival it became evident that one thing had to go. The crocs. You wore those black crocs EVERYWHERE!! It was like you had no other shoes in the two suitcases you brought with you. Seriously. No flip flops, no sneakers, just high heels (for what purpose I still have yet to understand) and crocs.
Normally, I wouldn't care so much, but your feet were rank. But there was one day I was sitting next to you on the couch and your feet stunk so bad I couldn't breathe. Now, I realize you're a teenager, and there are certain smells that just happen. It happened to me, it happened to you and every other teenager that will ever exist. But This smell...I don't even know how to describe it. I knew that whatever was causing it must be eliminated!!
That weekend we went shoe shopping. We bought sneakers. Then we went and bought a few other pairs of shoes. The whole process of shoe shopping is a topic for another post. Oh the drama!!
Thank god the crocs were now out of the picture. We had to force you NOT to wear them! You had been wearing these slip-on monstrosities for 3 years and had completely forgotten how to wear regular lace-up shoes!! How does that happen?!
Please...for the love of all that is holy do NOT go back to wearing crocs. Crocs are for people that just don't care anymore, or for backyard BBQ's, or trips to the beach, not for a teenage girl to wear to everything, with everything. And they make your feet stink. Don't do it!!
Even though you had a few pairs of cute shoes, you still found flip-flops the next alternative wear-with-everything shoe. Those aren't real shoes either. Don't make me post about flip-flops!! Wear real shoes, appropriate to the clothing you have on, appropriate for your age. Next time your feet need some shoes, remember these wise words from your cousin. Trust me on this one. :)
