I love a brilliant invention. I really like new stuff that makes me smack myself on the head and say “why didn’t I think of that?” Things like the Spin-Pop. You know that motorized thing for suckers so that you don’t have to turn them? You just put it on your tongue and push the button. It practically licks itself.
I found one of those smack-myself-in-the-head brilliant things today at Wal-Mart. I know, I hate Wal-Mart, too, but I had to go there for something else and then I wandered down the baby shoe aisle. Did you know they have shoes with see-through bottoms? How cool is that? Right up at the toe is a little window with two lines on it. One says “Room to Grow”, and the other reads “Perfect Fit.” You put your baby’s foot in there and you never have to mash down the toe to guess whether or not it fits again. You can just look through the window and see if he’s outgrowing his shoes. Isn’t that smart? How many shoes have I put on how many feet? A toe window. Why didn’t I think of that?
Can you see those little toes? Aren’t they cute? I usually make the kids all wear socks, but the naked baby toes were just too irresistible.
