No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service

At approximately 6:15 p.m. Thursday, December 10, 2009, my mother arrived home to find me sitting on the floor in the living room playing with my brown shoes. I came running up to her in bare feet, with no shoes and no socks; not abnormal. Thereafter, around 7:00 p.m., she had to leave to go to a meeting, leaving me and my father to play. I headed to bed around 7:45 p.m. leaving my shoes in the same spot that I left them. My mother arrived home around 9:00 p.m. finding nothing out of the ordinary. My parents went to bed that evening around 10:00 p.m.

I awoke the next morning, Friday, around 6:30 a.m. and the day started out normal. I drank my milk, my mother prepared my breakfast, lunch and snack, and we went upstairs to get dressed. It was not until we came downstairs around 7:30 a.m. that something seemed to be missing. My brown SHOE!! Oh where, oh where, did my shoe go. So logically, my mother called my father, the person who should have known where it was. There was one brown shoe with no match. He had no clue, so she turned to me and asked me, do you know where your brown shoe is? I, of course, could not recall where I put it last. So I ended up wearing my tennis shoes. My mother decided to file a missing shoe report with the local authorities; they told her it had to be missing for 72 hours before they would assist in the search. That evening my parents looked everywhere, high and low, it was no where to be found. It's as if it just walked off without its friend.

Saturday morning, again they tore the house apart looking for my brown shoe. No luck!! So they ended up forcing me to wear my brown boots. I HATE my brown boots. For some reason I can't stand wearing these boots; I just stand there and cry pointing at them. But after marching around the house counting to 10 in English and Spanish I decided they weren't so bad. Well this morning, Sunday, my dad was sitting on the couch and reached for the remote that had fallen between the cushions. Low and behold, out come a brown shoe, the missing brown shoe! Case closed!
