I went to an April fools party. At this house, everyone kicks off their flip flops.
When it was time to leave, I couldn’t find my flip flops! These weren’t cheapo flip flops. Very comfortable. The host lent me a pair of his to walk home. I thought I was the victim of an April’s prank.
When I returned the host’s flip flops, someone had left a pair of 99 cent flip flops. Yes, my size. So, I thought maybe a drunk put on the wrong pair. And he would recognize the error the next morning. And return them. No such luck!
Lesson learned. Don’t wear nice flip flops, and kick them off at a party. Fortunately I now have a pair of cheapo flip flops to bring to the next party. Maybe I will see my original flip flops. I sure miss them.
They were “Cream de la Creme” flips flops! So cushiony and comfy. Nothing hard between the little pig who went to market, and the one who stayed home. I miss them.
I hear you. A good pair of thongs is a joy to the heart, a balm to the soul and indispensable in summer when the concrete footpaths are hot enough to burn your feet.
Last year we went to the Texas RenFest. I rode the elephant with my granddaughter. When disembarking, I threw my flip-flops onto the platform so i wouldn’t drop it down to the ground. That sneaky little elephant ate one of my flip-flops! The handlers tried to get it back, but it was too late. They were my favorite pair, too.
I limped out of the park on the gravel paths. At least they gave me my money back for the ride.
That’s kind of gross. Your flip-flops are covered in months or years of sweat and dead skin. I mean, not yours specifically, but all used flip-flops. I don’t even like it when my wife steals my flip-flops to go outside for a smoke.
And I will kill any motherfucker who takes mine. They’re more valuable to me than anything else that goes on my feet.
I must be the odd person out because I’d rather go barefoot than wear flip flops. They always fall off and make a stupid sound. Running has hardened my feet enough that even almost black tarmac with pebbles doesn’t hurt too much. Then again maybe if there were more pop tops lying around these days I’d have a different opinion
