Wardrobe Malfunction
Today, I had a wardrobe malfunction that was really more of a wardrobe annoyance. Here is the story.
I was walking along on the concrete, minding my own business, when all of a sudden, out of nowhere something felt weird on my shoe. I was wearing flip-flops. I looked down and thought that I had forgotten how to walk. With each step of my left foot, my shoe seemed to drag the ground. From the top, all looked well. The thong aspect of the flop looked to be in tact, my left foot was being elevated with the same amplitude from the ground as my right foot, but my shoe was still dragging on the ground.
Was something crazy going on? Did I suddenly loose some kind of depth perception, loose appropriate muscular response to neurotransmitters that should be traversing my neuromuscular junctions, or something else?
None of the above turned out to be the case. It turned out that the material on the go-between-the-first-and-second-toe aspect of the thong had frayed and therefore exponentially elongated.
I was glad that it turned out to be the shoe and not my health that had suffered insult.
