Ethan has decided to start a non-profit organization called "Footwear for Foreign Friends".
Crocs are the perfect desert footwear for kids. We know their feet stink no matter what they wear, so why not give them something washable that they can put on themselves. However, they are not cheap, especially when you have to replace them three times it eight months.
Ethan has a habit of leaving them at the park next to our home. Once I realize they are missing it is too late. Whichever gardener gets there first wins the prize. At least we know they are going towards a good cause. The work force here are from some of the poorest countries in the world. Having shoes even a little worn out is a true gift. We just wish they weren't so darn hard to replace.
One friend commented, "at least he lost both shoes. At our house we only seem to lose one, so they aren't any use to anyone." Another said, "wow, whoever got them is really lucky because in my country (Philippines) the imitation ones from China cost $50.00 USD."
So in the end I hope our misfortune becomes a blessing for someone else.
What a great attitude. I heard a nasty rumor that they are not making crocs anymore because it ruins feet. Not really sure I believe it, crocs are just way too convenient to get rid of.
ReplyDeleteHey-what is shipping to you from Utah? My sister got some for all of our kids from the Crocs outlet in Park City last week for $5 a pair. Would it be just as much as buying them where you are? :)
ReplyDeleteThey are not worth shipping. We will be in the states for 6 weeks shortly and might even hit a few outlets ourselves.
