I have already started a thread bragging about my new Fizik road shoes, but what I didn’t mention is that I bought them ‘under the radar’. It’s probably the first time I have ever done something like that.
In any case, Mrs SR came home a while ago, and because she had an armload of groceries, she ended walking straight through the front hall – where we have dozens of pairs of shoes piled up, and where I have put my new shoes in the full expectation that they would blend in – without noticing anything different.
So far so good.
Then, 30 minutes later, she comes downstairs and goes to put something out the front door. Within seconds… mere seconds… I hear, “Hey! Did you buy yourself a new pair of cycling shoes?!?”
WTAF?
How did she discover them so quickly? I mean, really, they were deliberately mingled in with many, many other shoes, including another pair of mostly-white cycling shoes.
If Elliot’s mum had have been Mrs SR, E.T, wouldn’t have stood a chance in that closet!
