Oh, you mean SHOES! I did my white Adidas with blue pen through a solid year of math class; they got inked over time like a convict in the hoosegow. I absolutely, absolutely want that scooter, though. Have you ever ridden a regular scooter? They're serious exercise; I had to keep changing legs because of exhaustion, and it's worse when it's a little undersized, because you can't lock your knee, ever.

It was a thought that never even crossed my mind. My parents would have KILLED me if I had written on my shoes. It was a thought that never even crossed my mind.

My kids wrote on theirs, my youngest still plans to write on hers, and (shhhh!) I wrote on mine, although I don't plan to tell my children until a grandchild comes home from school with his/her brand-new shoes offensively emblazoned. By saving this disclosure until then, I hope to create a diversion that will save the child's life. And congratulations, Glinda, for scooping The Manolo Himself on a shoe item. Perhaps this could be a consolation for the knife-throwing incident. As any child with an indelible pen and light-colored shoes knows, shoes are to be written on.
