Squeaky Shoe Tuesday
One of the main things I’m looking forward to when I go back to the UK is reasonably priced Guinness, proper cheese, nightclubs with no french people my newest niece Eve.
My brother Andrew is just a few years older than me and we’re very close- hang out together whenever we get the chance, talk on the phone when I get drunk, I was best man at his wedding etc.
Andrew had a baby girl in September last year and I’ve only seen her a handful of times since then, so I’ve missed a lot of stuff.
Apparently she’s walking now, dancing too, so I’m hoping that I’ll get to see her take these bad boys for a test drive.
They’re a kind of shoes I’ve only ever seen in asia- with a squeaker in the bottom that’s triggered when you walk. It’s kind of a safety feature I guess, since the toddler can toddle off on their own and you’ll hear when they’ve gone to far or fallen over. But it’s also just the cutest thing when you hear them walking off:
squeak……squeak……squeak
<Hey look! A bird!>
SQUEAK!SQUEAK!SQUEAK!SQUEAK!
<oh it’s gone>
squeak………squeak……
I think they’re cool anyway.
Hey wait a minute, I hope Eve isn’t reading this though, it’ll ruin the surprise.

that’s sweet!
hope you got the right size – kids grow up fast. or you can get one more bigger pair – future proofing.
I’m way ahead of your Jeff! (or at least, Emma is) – already got two pairs.
SQUEAK
SQUEAK
SQUEAK
Maybe it’s just me but I can’t hear the squeak. We will miss you, and your shoe fetish, make sure to let everyone know where you start posting next. That said I believe small kids in the States are ofter equipped with this type of squeaky shoe… if you need I could be forced to provide proof o that.
I must confess than french people are horrible in restaurants, I think in clubs they are quite normal… I must confess that I am french so my opinion may be biased…
Mark- have you got the internet turned up to full volume?
Thomas- I’m just kidding, they’re an easy target.
I wish they’d hurry up with this smoking ban, that should see the French constrained to their homes!!
