Kangaroos...

Fear the Roo(s).... Normally shopping for school shoes would never be the reason for a post, however, this is the Jones family!!

{Thanks to Barry for the Fear the Roo idea!}

So in true Jones fashion, we go shopping for the all important tennis shoes to begin Kindergarten. I look for the ones with the coolest colors and Wade goes for the tried and true faithfuls. He tries to get Abs to get some old school K-Swiss. Please note: There is nothing wrong with the K-Swiss but he gets all senitmental about having them when we was in school. So after we weren't sold, we go to eat dinner with the whole Jones clan. I merely make the statement about the K-Swiss and we all laugh...I then add "If Wade could find a pair of Kangaroos, that's what he would have Abs in!" (Do you remember the Kangaroos? The ones with the zippers on the sides to keep your ice cream money?) There was much laughter and Wade wasn't very happy with us!

Remember - paybacks are fun!!!

So off to the mall we go...still in hot pursuit of the school shoes. We end up in the Shoe Department and lo and behold we find.......KANGAROOS!!! They even have the zipper on side. So check out Abs new school shoes------



Wade got his payback on all of us!!!

And remember - "FEAR THE ROO(S)!!"

I had baby blue Kangaroos and never could get all the snack money out. Wonder why I didn't just take my shoe off?
