What thoughts comes to your mind after seeing this Photo?

 

These are my sons shoes , I found them 5 minutes before he had to leave for school.

At first I'm a little shocked.

I scratch my head, or pull at my hair depending on your perception.

You have got to be kidding me, another pair?

These kids are costing me a fortune.

Oh man these smell.

I call to him as I begin to remove the laces.

He arrives, I tell him these are done he's going to have to wear his "skater" shoes .

His response "I don't like them, I can't run in them, fine well you have to get me running shoes, size 7 but you know that , no funny colors though, its ok if there like these ones but they have to be running shoes, I have track in 2 weeks and I need them, these are only good when I scooter  oh don't forget I need new soccer cleats, when are you getting them? Oh yeah you can just throw those out."

Did this kid breath?

I know better than to ask , but I can't resist.

Why didn't you tell me they were this bad, before they got this bad?"

As he sits trying to unknot his shoe, he looks up , shrugs his shoulders.

Phew, these stink.

I get the kids out the door. Grab the shoes to throw them in the trash.

While I'm looking at his mangled shoes, It hit me!

He's outside playing, doing what kids should do.
