How to tie a shoelace

Oh the irony of it.

I just attended a workshop here at work, and one of the activities (to test how we can write short sharp stories) was to explain, in forty words or less in a language that even a child can understand, how to tie a shoelace.

Just to explain: I don’t know how to *properly* tie a shoelace. I just tie it any which way, and it always ends up being untied soon after. When I was in high school and I was wearing shoes with laces, my best friend would tie my shoelaces for me, and now that I’m married, my husband would do it.

Otherwise, I try to find sneakers with Velcro straps.

And yet, apparently, after this exercise, i could explain how to do it the best. *snickers*

Maybe it’s like what they say..those who can’t do, teach.
