Sun Nov 2024 Today, I was extremely foolish, to say the least. I thought it would be a great idea to try and convince my parents to let me skip church. I failed horribly, but I had stalled for 15 minutes or so, so I thought I was successful. Little did I know, I had just royally messed up more than I could have ever imagined. My father rushed me to the door. Now, I had just bought a new pair of red Jordans to replace the ones that were too small, and in my haste, I grabbed two left-foot shoes. I only realized halfway to the church. And that’s not all—I couldn’t wear the other shoe because I had an ingrown toenail. I was also wearing the ugliest "I ❤️ BBQ" socks known to man. So, I sat in the far chairs by the door. This was a horrible choice since everyone my age in the church walked to the bathroom and saw my ugly "I ❤️ BBQ" socks. I knew my chances with the girls were over when one chuckled after seeing my socks. As soon as church was over, I tried to go as fast as I could out the door, but all the people my age were handing out flyers at the end of mass, so they all got to see my socks. I looked like a homeless man because I had run in the woods before I went to church. So The time I spent stalling could have been used to get ready, take a shower, and not upset my father. Moral of the story: Don’t disobey your parents, or you’ll take the wrong shoes to church and have to hobble to the nearest supermarket on one foot to buy food due to the “no shoes, no shirt, no service” policy.
