If the dragon of bad luck loses a shoe it will be the left one!
He had just got his first pair of winter shoes when we went shopping at Bluewater. After having lunch I noticed that he only had one shoe on (the right). We retraced our steps but didn’t find the other so we had to buy a new pair of shoes for him. They were identical to the lost pair so we would have a spare.
Ho, Ho, Ho! We couldn’t find one of his shoes for days, he had to wear wellies as it was the left one he’d lost. Last night he surpassed himself. We left the two children at a friend’s house while we went to the “Nine Lessons and Carols”. When we went to collect the kids the dragon only had one shoe on. Having searched the whole house twice it was found in the back of our car! Have you ever tried searching the back of 4-seater Morgan (no courtesy lights) on a dark night with a tiny torch? Trust me you really don’t want to.
Anyway, we had the shoe. We put it on then got hats and coats on, put the child seat back in the car. Loaded the children – couldn’t believe it, only one shoe! Searched the car again, in the dark, with the tiny torch and no courtesy lights. Too cold, so we went home without finding it. Looked at the spare shoe – wished the dragon had two right feet. Searched with the garage light to help – it didn’t much. Rang friend to see if they had the shoe.
Luckily the friend found the missing shoe so all is OK (until the next time).
