I just thought they were hilarious, and intended to say to the crew, "Ok, anyone who misbehaves has to wear these!", but when I produced them, all four younger children said, almost in unison "Oh, can I have them?"
Now, I may be a bad father, but I prefer to think I'm simply channeling my inner Tom Sawyer, and in an instant, I could see an easy way to reduce our housework.
We now have four pairs of these fine slippers, and provided they retain their entertainment value, I may never have to vacuum again.
I'll let you know how it goes. :)

I just thought they were hilarious, and intended to say to the crew, "Ok, anyone who misbehaves has to wear these!", but when I produced them, all four younger children said, almost in unison "Oh, can I have them?"
