Shoelaces...

Tonight as I was watching dad take his shoes off...well, actually dad doesn't just take his shoes off. He never has. First he unlaces them, next he loosens the laces, then he pulls the tongue back, then...he take his shoes off. So tonight as I was watching dad take his shoes off, I had a flash back to dad's voice telling me, "You're going to ruin those shoes by taking them off without unlacing them first."
