money talks like a shoe

Why does money change people?

Sounds like a "bitchin" and "whinin" article huh?
It is not. Read on.

Went shopping today and to cut the story short, i ended up at a
shoe store with the wife.

My attention was diverted to this family of four.
Mom and dad and two teenagers.

They looked like an average family at first glance but for some tell tale signs Which gave them away as people with money.( i'm not exactly starving myself but definitely not rich).

Mom had an Louis vuitton bag and dad had this snobbish, nose in the air look.

Kids were trying on a few pairs of sneakers ( they finally settled on an expensive looking one).

The point of the story is, WHY??
Why?? in gods/Osama/jesus etc name would people want to buy expensive sneakers for growing kids?

I had lousy canvas shoes when i was young ( maybe why i didn't become an olympian as "nike" and others like it would like you to believe)and my feet survived.

That was not all, the mom behaved like as if she could buy the whole store and dad looked "coooolly" on while his family was having a great discussion about the sneaker.

My words to them.

ONE - IT IS JUST A SHOE!
TWO - GO SUCK MY BIG HAIRY TOE AND CALL ME DADDY.
THREE - MAY THESE KIDS GROW UP AND THROW THOSE SAME SNEAKERS AT YOU WHEN YOU GROW OLD.

FOUR - Leave them be, they are just kids, if they know no hardship now when will they learn compassion?

COMPASSION only for the poor, rich don't have it.

Parting shot - SUCK MY TOE YOU RICH UNSCRUPULOUS BABBOONS AND MAY GOD TURN YOU INTO A PILE OF DOG POOPY!!!
