Enlightening the Youth

Sometimes, I get called upon to Enlighten the Youth. It's an honor (for them) and a privilege (for them) to be able to go into homes for hours on end, and have those children spend one on one time with my Crocs. It's amazing how many children in my city are ignorant of these shoes - maybe there should be a curriculum shakeup at the local schools. What are we even teaching them these days? I mean, SC is pretty low on the national educational rankings. Maybe if we taught them about crocsandcats and their amazingness we would be getting somewhere. JUST a thought.

Gah, off on a soapbox!! I apologize readers. This is not a political blog (although the first candidate to wear crocs while holding a cat/kitten, will get my vote)!

So, many call this job Babysitting. If we were in an Amelia Bedelia day and age, she would absolutely have an apoplectic fit! I like to call it catandcroc cids in-training. I used to babysit to eat all the snacks. Not anymore, I'm into preaching The Word. The Word is CatandCrocs. I recently babysat this adorable girl, whom when her parents left was not pleased to be in my company. I'm no good in awkward situations, and what more of an awkward situation than a child screaming because she doesn't want to be in your company? I threw a Croc at her. JK, I was running away from the screaming so fast one fell off my foot and she found it. JK again, we were both eating some brownies and I had kicked off my shoes and she was mesmerized. like check it out!!! I have never caught a phenomenon so great as a child discovering Crocs for the first time.

"O.M.G. THESE EXIST?" (What I imagine she was thinking)

Children and I have a strange relationship. We aren't very fond of each other. We both need to be the center of attention and usually the child wins. I've had a child start walking because I was telling a HILARIOUS story, and she had to steal the attention to put it back on her. Who can top that? It was the rudest thing I have ever witnessed.  HOWEVER, a sure fire way to get me to hold or exclaim "That is the CUTEST baby I have ever seen" is to put baby crocs on them. Honestly, can't get any better than that. It's also practical. Crocs last FOREVER (mine are coming up on NINE YEARS) and you don't have to deal with tying shoes or shoes unvelcroing. 

Crocs are the future just like the youth of today. Outfit yours today.
