Flip Flop Blowout got me into the "IN" crowd

I hope I dont step on anyones toes here. I love to people watch. It is a sign of getting older and I completely understand why you see 85 year old men watching people pass by as they sit on a chair in the mall. Tonight we went to Golden Corral. Rebecca and her father love it and I dont mind it at all. I was walking to get my food and my flip flop had a blow out. It was gone, and there wasn't any way to fix it. I figure I should just go barefoot. I mean why not, I would have fit in with everyone else. I was among the most backwards people I have ever seen. Mothers with their cracks showing as they were carrying their babies to the ice cream line. Little kids that weigh too much for their age eating only desert and the mullett crowd loving the dinner rolls. The cool guy with the duck tail eating off his plate in line - maybe he thought it would get cold before he got to his table. Anyway I just thought it funny sitting there and watching everyone doing their own thing.
