Driving Too Young
Kids these days are driving too young. I'm not talking about cars, although it does frighten me that in some states 14 year old kids are given a right to drive. I'm talking about shoes.
Yesterday, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some new shoes - they look just like the ones Paul McCartney wore in his itunes commercial. Anyway, as I was trying on some shoes, some kid with spiky hair went zooming past me. After nine more kids zooming past me, I noticed that they had wheels coming out of their shoes.
I'd heard about these somewhere - on the door to the library it strictly forbids the wearing of these shoes.
After a little research, I found out that they are called Heelys - which is a misspelling - it should be Heelies. How lazy are we? Here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia article: "The sport" - that's right. I guess laziness is now a sport - "has quickly been gaining popularity since Heelys first came on the market in 2000. Because wheels with adequately slippery bearings allow the wearer to glide rather than continually take steps..." We are too lazy to take steps. For Crying Out Loud!
