Blue. Shoes.
April 2nd, 2008
I’ve been a grouch lately. Blame it on a bad case of spring fever, the media’s talk of doom and gloom or simply not enough sleep, but no two ways about it – I’ve been a grouch.
Well today that changed. Today, I came home from a meeting (back home to Brains on Fire that is…) and received this gift made by our very own “sherpa of traffic coordination”, Megan Byrd .
Yup, my very own pair of hand painted blue cowboy boots. Now if these won’t cheer you up while you’re wearing them, well I don’t know what will.
And here’s the best part – I get to walk around singing:
You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my new blue boots!
Yeah, I changed that last part. When you wearing blue shoes, you can do what ever dang well please.
The world needs more blue shoes.

I agree if you have blue shoes you can do what you want. This is a great truth.
I should admit though when people in my office are grouchy I just call them “grumpster.” I say, “Kyle why are you grumpster.” My questions have never lead to him singing but it has lead to me singing something like:
Kyle’s Grumpster
Kyke why so grumpster
Kyle are you mad
Kyle are you sad
Kyle you need to smile
because if you smile you won’t be grumpster
you’ll just be Kyle
Next time I’ll try painting his shoes. Although I might like to try it while he’s wearing them.

Hot shoes.

You simply cannot be grumpy in those shoes. Energetically impossible

WOW! I did not know that Megan had branched into boots! Fletch is lucky to have an “MB” original in his nursery…

“You wouldn’t want a father and a young SON dancing together — because that would be gay.”
No, it would not be gay. It would be refreshing to see a father teaching his son the gentleness and fun of dancing.
However, it would be interesting to try to find a pair that fit both the parent and the child. Don’t you just hate shopping for shoes!
I guess a blue pair would be for mother and son.
