When I was a bit younger (tweens) there was a Filipino girl who moved into our neighborhood. I don't remember a lot about her, except that she was just a little bit different then all the other girls I knew in our 'hood. For one, she was friendly too me. I do remember that.
The other thing I remember... One day her shoe came untied while we were chatting (about what I don't know) and she did the bunny ear tie your shoes thing. I had never seen anyone do that before. In fact, up until that moment I didn't even realize you could tie them an alternate way (and end up with the same result). It was quite enlightening. She thought it was odd that I tied them the other way.
I wish I could say there was more to this boring story than that, but, (Ha--this sucks-->) there's knot.
I only mentioned it because I just remember that girl (but not her name of course) when someone mentions shoe tying. How weird is that?!!
Lastly, after learning both methods, the bunny ear way seems too awkward for me. I'm sure it's because the first method has been burned into my muscle memory.
Whatever happened to Velcro?
