Rubber ducky thongs

When Juji, Jay and I were out shopping last week, we went to City Beach Surf where Juji chose a pair of sandals for her Christmas pressie from Jac and me (this system has worked very well for the past few years – Juji helps me with my Christmas shopping, I shout her lunch and she gets to choose her own pressie. But then I take it home and wrap it and she doesn’t get it until Christmas). Anyway, while we were there (I don’t usually go into surfwear shops -I feel terribly daggy and out of place and so very old!) I saw a pair of thongs (flip-flops) that I fell in love with – they were red with rubber duckies all over them, and a rubber ducky on the straps. Unfortunately, there were no rubber ducky thongs in my size in the red. I tried the white pair in my size, but they just didn’t seem as cool to me as the red ones. I didn’t end up buying either pair. But since then I haven’t been able to get rubber ducky thongs out of my head since then. Never before has a pair of thongs (or any type of shoe) spoken to me like this. I have never EVER been so compelled to buy any kind of footwear. I can count the number of pairs of shoes I own/wear on one hand. I didn’t actually need a pair of thongs – I had a perfectly good, comfortable pair of black Rivers thongs. But today after uni I thought bugger it – I’ll go home through town and buy those white rubber ducky thongs! Poor Rivers thongs… you cannot compete with the power of the duckies.

Rubber ducky thongs

I really love these thongs, even though they aren’t the red ones. I’m just so smitten with these rubber duckies! I usually go barefoot around the house, but I’ve been wearing my rubber ducky thongs for most of the evening. But I’ll have to watch out for that naughty Pixel. I reckon she might try nibbling on my duckies. She’s been quietly checking them out, no doubt planning her first ducky strike for when I’ve gone to bed.
