A few weeks ago the whole family was headed somewhere for a quick trip. I forget where. Convenience store? Playground? Somewhere public, but just a quick trip. As Ruth was getting in the car I noticed she was barefoot. I told her she needed to put on shoes. She didn’t want to, and a brief power struggle ensued. Of course, being the dad, I “won” the power struggle. She went back in the house and emerged wearing one bright yellow croc and one pink sandal, both designed for the left foot. When I asked her if that is really what she intended to wear she replied, “Oh yes, it is the latest fashion in Brazil, don’t you know?”
It was a small incident, and I pretty quickly forgot about it. Then the other night we saw this little gem. My wife commented “One just never knows what the latest fashion in Brazil will be.”
