A couple of weeks ago we met some friends at McDonalds for lunch. Not my first choice, but as a before Kindergarten treat, Ally got to choose lunch and so McDonalds it was. Without even thinking, Ally put on her Crocs, which was well and good, until it she wanted to play on the play set. At that point I realized she didn't have any socks. Floors at indoor play places give me a certain "eeww" factor and so I told her to just play with her Crocs on. Ally proceeded to announce to all adults who were around the play area, "my mom forgot my socks so that's why I have to play with my Crocs on." A mom who heard her told her that if she went to the counter and asked for socks, they would give her some.
I was a bit skeptical, but thought I'd give it a try and it turned out, that mom was right! I went to the counter, asked for socks, the woman asked how many pairs I needed and then went into a storage room and came out with a brand new pair of socks for Ally. The day was saved and I didn't have to think about her bare feet touching the floor-a win-win!
