The twins have a strange attraction to our shoe laces. It’s very disconcerting to feel your laces being pulled loose while sitting at the dinner table. It tickles. Thinking I could foil their efforts, I tied my laces in double and triple knots. When the boys couldn’t get them loose, they began sucking the laces. This act totally grosses Sandy out. If you are wearing the shoes, you can redirect the child. The real surprise comes when you leave your shoes by the door and upon retrieving them you find your laces soaking wet. Tying wet shoe lacing and the thought of her boys sucking on those nasty strings just makes her skin crawl. That’s why our tennis shoes are now sitting on the fireplace mantle.
