School Shoes, Red Vans And Teenage Triathletes

It's half term and in the course of a discussion about needing a pair of new school shoes, teenage triathlete suggests that she goes and buys a pair at the metrocentre during the week.

Saves me a job I think, so the day dawns and she asks me for money to buy shoes and without thinking or even more foolishly discussing the matter further I hand over 30 quid.

To my horror she turns up about 5 hours later thrilled with her new pair of red Vans! What about the school shoes?  I ask, "you never said anything about school shoes when you gave me the money" Why do I feel like I've been conned!

So tonight's session, arrived late missed half the warm up and it was eyeballs out for the rest of the time.
