Shoes

"Your daughter has a shoe fetish," declared K-Mum to K-Pop this afternoon.

"This is not news," replied K-Pop, noting the strong hereditary factor.

The latest data? Apparently K-Mum had sent away for several pairs of "Sugar & Spice" Stride Rites, LA Underground silver sandals, purple Keens and Converse All-Stars. While K-Pop normally preaches restraint on this type of discretionary spend, even he had to concede that K-bao's feet had apparently experienced a recent growth spurt.

However, the original premise of the purchase was that some of these models were going to be sent back. Unfortunately little K-bao had already laid eyes on the new kicks before the full construct was explained and agreed to. The subsequent explanation unsurprisingly led to vigorous negotiations, pleas and protests.

"Please, Mommy please!"
"I love them sooo much!"
"They are sooo cute!"
"Can I please keep all of them?"
"Please Mommy, you're the best!"
