It's the morning rush. Everybody is in a hurry. There is no time for anything. Everybody has to be out at 7:28AM. That's except for one thing, tying up the shoelace in a butterfly bow securely.
I pulled over the curb once I found out Harry just tucked in his shoelaces instead of doing it the right way--securely tied in a butterfly bow. I would not tolerate this infraction. It is one of my many excuses to get mad at them. I just think there is really no reason not to know how to tie the shoelace. With the invention of Velcro, both kids and parents are just too happy not to know how to tie their shoes. If I see any otherwise healthy ten year old wearing Velcro tied sportshoes not because of any misguided aesthetic reason but out of necessity, it really makes me sick. I wouldn't like them to just slip in and off a tied pair of shoes either, especially when they whine and scream while trying to squeeze in their untied pair of shoes. I feel like to yell and slap them around. But I choose my war to fight, sometimes I just give up and back off. Like any parents in the morning rush.
