Following tradition, Tyler got new shoes at the beginning of the school year. He got nice shoes that were a reliable brand. Tyler wore through his first pair, and his second pair and a few weeks ago, finally got his third pair of shoes during this school year.
Carter also got new shoes at the beginning of the school year. Unlike Tyler, he has kept the same pair of shoes. They are starting to look a bit worn and his shoelaces are beat up from mistreatment. A few mornings ago, he came to me with one of his shoes and said that he felt something poking his foot. He handed me the shoe and it was apparent that the shoe was starting to break down from months of wear on an eight year old foot. We concluded that it was time to get him new shoes but that he would have to wear these shoes until we could arrange a time to go shoe shopping.
Tyler, who was watching the conversation, looked at him and said, "Maybe you should take better care of your shoes."
