Mewsday’s Wandering Thought

His wife needed new shoelaces. Only one store in town sells replacement laces.

In these times, the shoes usually wore out before the laces. His wife’s laces were for new shoes; she wanted white laces instead of the stripped ones that came with her shoes. Yes, it is a little first world pain, isn’t it?

No, the store didn’t have the laces she needed.
