Back when I was a young tyke our shoes had laces that had to be tied. Of course, untieing them was far too much bother when I wanted to take them off. My mom would, naturally, yell at me to undo the lace before taking off the shoes. Now of course the shoe is on the other foot. Corwin, however, has shoes that either have two Velcro™ strips or zippers. This is still too much for His Royal Boyness. Just ripping off two strips or pulling down a zipper – too much work. What kind of kids am I raising?
