The Boy Who Hated Shoes

There once was a boy named Celo. He had a big brother named Diego. As Diego got bigger, he gave Celo all his old shoes that no longer fit. Grandmas, aunts, and uncles gave Celo shoes as presents. A family friend also gave Celo hand-me-down shoes. Therefore, Celo had A LOT of shoes.

But Celo HATED shoes. Whenever his mommy tried to put shoes on him to go somewhere, Celo would rip them off within minutes. He especially hated wearing shoes in the car, so as soon as his mommy or daddy would sit down in the driver's seat, he would take his shoes off and throw them on the floor of the car. His mommy started to worry that his shoes were hurting his feet. She put different shoes on him everyday to see if she could find a pair that he liked. But no matter which shoes she chose, Celo immediately took them all off.

Finally, his mommy just decided to give up. When they were leaving to go somewhere, she put his shoes in her purse and didn't put them on Celo's feet until they reached their destination...and only if it was absolutely necessary. This way Celo was happy, and his mommy could relax.

It really was a shame, though, for all those tiny shoes to go to waste.
But at least Celo had cute feet.

The End.

No wonder he didn't have his shoes on when I saw you at the post office that one day, but if you noticed Aubrey didn't have hers on either. She only loves them because she knows she is going somewhere but she always takes them off in the car. Beautiful Columbia pictures...I hope your tail starts feeling better soon!
