How to tie a shoelace
November 7, 2008
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.

If your shoelaces keep untying, maybe you’re inadvertently tying a “Granny Knot”. (Don’t fret, about half of the population is probably doing the same!) The solution is really simple – just reverse the way you tie your starting knot. Check out the details on Ian’s Shoelace Site:
