Grunge is Bed

Once upon a time in a thrift store in Seattle, a mother bought a pair of used Dr. Martens for her baby son. They were a size 8, and seemed impossibly huge, especially considering the fact that her son was four months old, with feet the length of her thumb.

But they were a three dollars. You can't go too wrong for three dollars. So she bought them--thinking someday he'd wear them despite their impossible hugeness--and brought them home, where she put them on a high shelf above the changing table, and promptly forgot about them. Until, almost a year later...

Her son noticed the laces dangling enticingly, and demanded to see what was on the other end of them. He immediately realized what he had, and tried to put them on his feet himself. Of course, he only wore a size 5, but an 8 didn't seem so impossibly huge to him.

Besides, they went really well with red monkey pajamas.

Good night.
