Eden: What's an infomercial?
Crystal: It's usually an expanded commercial that demonstrates a product and has a spokesperson who raves about how you need whatever they are selling.
Eden: So basically it's a commercial.
Crystal: Yep, I guess so.
Eden: I saw this infomercial the other day about a giant stick you shove in your shoe to put it on.
Crystal: You mean a shoe horn?
Eden: Yeah, but it was giant, with a really long handle. Who would buy something like that!
Crystal: Anyone who can't bend over to put on shoes, that's who. Like an old person. Or a fat person.
Eden: (Very serious) Are you going to buy one?
Crystal: (Under my breath) I'm thinkin' about it.
Anna: You know what I hate, Crocs. My mom used to love those things. Korean moms just don't look good in those -- they look like tourist nerds.
Eden: Yeah! My mom loved them too. She had big giant green ones that she proudly wore all over the airport when we went to Florida. Hey, she was a tourist! Mom, why did you by those?
Crystal: Hey, don't make fun of Crocs! Those saved me that year we went to Florida. Don't you remember I had a back injury! And .... I bought you a pair too. You thought they were cool.
Eden: Don't you know that those Crocs are just big, foam, clogs! They look all klunky and dumb. I know a woman who wore black ones to a funeral! With socks and a dress!!! How weird is that!
Anna: Little kids look cute in them though, just not moms.
Eden: Yeah. Mom don't wear those anymore.
Crystal: Eden, is this your version of an infomercial -- trying to get me to throw away my Crocs? It's not going to work you know. Now that I know how you feel about them, I'm wearing them every time that we go to the beach. If you thought I was dumb wandering around the airport, just think about how dumb I'm going to look wandering around the sand sporting Crocs and a swim suit! Maybe I'll even wear socks!
Post Script: After numerous emails expressing concern about me wearing Crocs -- I assure you that the only time they make an appearance is when I work in the yard. And .... I don't even own a pair of socks, they bug my feet. Weird, I know.
3 stopped by to say hello.:
"I'm thinkin' about it" - ha. I am loving this blogging spurt. You crack me up.
HA! I say wear them (even though I have to agree with the kids)! It is fun to do embarrassing stuff to them, right?!
I totally agree with the kids--Crocs have been the ugliest shoes in decades!!!
My oldest went to mutual last night and it was "nerd" bowling. I had her wear some outdoorsy sandals(chaco's) with tall socks---crocs would have been perfect as well---please tell me you would never wear your crocs with capris and socks!!!
