A Day in the Life of a Shoe -15 minutes go.

It is not easy being a shoe. As a shoe you have one job and one job only and that is to protect your master's foot. For some shoes, life is amazing... Like me for example. I have a wonderful master. Her name is Haley. Other shoes aren't so lucky. My friend Clog for example has a master who never changes his socks and loves to trudge his feet through the mud puddles outside his house. Poor Clog was sad and tried explaining how he felt to his master by crying a pitiful odor. He didn't get the message apparently and Clog has gone the way of all good shoes...(to the dumpster!) Poor Clog. I hope I stay on Haley's feet. Every once and a while she'll mess up and shove my face into a half-chewed piece of gum, but she cares about me enough that she will clean me up right afterwards. We go on many different adventures together. We go to school, to Grandma's and if I'm lucky, to the beach where I can get a nice massage and cleaning.

My name is Flip Flop by the way. I am green with white palm trees and am a size 9 and 1/2. I have been working in the Shoe League for about 3 years now and am nowhere close to retirement. I consider myself to be a reliable shoe... I haven't broken a bone yet! I think I have another solid 2 more years ahead of me still. That's a long time for a guy like me! So, if you are a piece of plastic, rubber or leather looking into joining the Shoe League, I highly recommend you try it out. There is no other job in the world as interesting as being a shoe!
