Velcro


Shoe shopping. Not much time left before dad melts down.

What about these ones?

Go ahead and try them on, see if you like them.

Okay.

Do they feel alright?

Yes. I like these.
Okay, let's get these.

Should we get two pair so we have another when these wear out? Mom asks.
No.
Why?
When these run out he might not be able to tie shoes anymore.
You mean Velcro shoes?
Yes. He’ll need Velcro.

My dad will need Velcro, like a child does.
My dad won’t remember how to tie his shoes.
My mom’s husband will need Velcro, like a child does.
My mom’s husband won’t remember how to tie his shoes.
