It was past 9PM, past the children's bedtime, but we were about 40 miles from home after an out-of-town celebration of Julius getting his yellow belt for martial arts.
We drove through a shopping mall parking lot, passing a big red lighted sign that read "Shoe Carnival."
Julius asked, "What's Shoe Carnival?"
Tristan asked, "Do they have bouncy houses there?"
"No," I said. "It's a store that sells shoes."
Both boys sat in silence for a moment and finally Tristan said, "That's not a very good kind of carnival."
(As someone who isn't a big fan of shoes and shoe-buying, I would have to agree.)
How funny! Kids just take things so literally.
ReplyDeleteToo cute!

Shoe addiction is serious business I promise you!___=^..^=___Kittie
ReplyDeleteI am such a sucker. I thought the pic was taken at the shoe carnival. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a blog that people need to get behind. The problem is no one wants to do a great deal of reading and not have something else to stimulate the mind. This is the internet, after all. Maybe if you added a video or two to emphasize your point. But, I don’t know if others will.
ReplyDeleteOh Deutschland, cut it out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys are all OK and not been whisked away to Oz or anything.
That last comment was me - I don't know why it came up as Robert. Sounds like things across the South are really pretty bad - we are thinking of you, and hope all friends and family are safe - chris in hobart
