All this rain and something a third grader said today brought back the memory of my K-mart shoes. The third grader said her mom wouldn't let her wear her new shoes because it was raining.
Flash back to 5th grade. We always used to stop at the K-mart on Parley's way in Salt Lake City on the way home from Salt Lake. Mom used to do her grocery shopping there and the rest of us would hang out next door at the regular K-mart. I found some beautiful shoes that I just couldn't do without. I begged my mom and she finally relented. They were a great deal--only about $5.
The first day I wore them to school it rained. Those K-mart shoes totally fell apart. I don't mean things came loose. They fell apart. I think they must have been made out of cardboard or something. We never bought shoes at K-mart again.
