Velcro -- great! When you have a four year old who, while only after asking 50 million times, has yet to put on her sneakers to get out the door and go to school, and you really don't know what she's doing, because she went in her room, until you go in there and find her wearing bright red dress shoes which YES! go with her outfit but are not suitable, or allowed at school. And this we begin asking once again, please put on your sneakers while I finish getting things ready until FINALLY phew! Here I am, she announces and you look on her feet and ARGH! Your pirate self mutters when you see -- Crocs! C-R-O-C-S spells shoes mommy look! ARGH! By this time you are finally wishing you had a hook arm that you could really put to good use. And then you realize okay, and you go get the shoes, gently toss them to your 4 year old, resisting the desire to chuck them at her head, and you watch her say "oh, thank you Mommy" and put them on and you are just soooo thankful that, while velcro isn't necessary the cutest, you are so glad you didn't just have to tie those shoes.
Velcro -- the not so great version: when your one and a half year old learns she can take her shoes off by herself. Everyone hear that velcro sound in your head -- riiiiiiiiiip, rip rip rip rip riiiiiiiiippp.
And one random thought: considering Twitter. Any opinions?
I have a twitter account but I have never tweeted anything. I just don't have anything to say. I don't think it is that useful, but maybe you will.
