Sheckers Anyone?

Anyone know what a Shecker is? I didn't, up until a couple of days ago.


For the last week or so, Jole has been telling us he wants some sheckers. We kept asking him "what are sheckers?" He'd say "sheckered shoes!" We had no clue. Even Kayla asked him "checkered shoes, like mine?" thinking he wanted a checkered print on his shoes. He'd say "yes, like Jesse has!" Like any parent, we told him "ok, we'll look for checkered shoes".


Never found them - until this past weekend when we were at Academy Sports. We're all walking thru the store, looking for track shoes for Kayla, when Jole yells out "Sheckers! Look mommy, Sheckers!" There in front of us was a huge display of Skechers.


Kelly, Kayla and I all went "ohhhhhhhh!" Skechers, not Sheckers! We had a good laugh over that one and now we all call them Sheckers. Unfortunately they didn't have the sandals in his size so we had to walk out of the store without them. However, the good news is that I did find some at Famous Footwear in his size so the little stinker now has his own pair of Sheckers. I'll try to post a picture of him in his Sheckers very soon - just gotta take a picture first. :-)


And as a side note, can someone please tell me why little boys feel the need to pee all over the toilet seat? Jole discovered this trick at daycare and says all of his friends do it. I, however, have explained to him that little girls need to sit on that seat to use the potty and really don't want to sit in his pee. Not sure I got thru to him but it was certainly worth a try.

Boys. I just don't get it.
