Charger Opinion

Happy feet! Oh happy day!

Brandi James, Charger Staff

“Blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a .......” well you know the rest. Speaking of flip-flops, did anybody notice all the bare toes and toe rings now on display at CHS? In case you have been completely under a rock for the last couple of months, the CHS administrators have now granted us with the privlege of FLIP-FLOPS!!! Can I get a hallelujah? As most of my fellow seniors would gladly agree, we love the thought of being able to slip on our favorite pair of flip-flops and not worry about laces and socks and the thought of being late because you couldn’t tie your shoe fast enough.

The very thought of flip-flops is like a dream come true. School can be hard enough with out having to worry about if my shoes match or if I’m going to have enough money for lunch; therefore, I am proud to say that flip-flops match every thing and are extremely cheap, so, yes, you will still have enough money for that burrito or pizza at lunch.

Despite these perks, while researching the subject, I found that over 75.8% (inventors.about.com) of flip-flop-wearing high school students have said that they have “stepped out of their flip-flops” or fell because of them. Although I’m hesitate to provide these statistics to the administrators, I feel as if they prove a point. Yes, indeed the teachers and administrators trust us and have enough faith in our coordination to allow the flip-flop rule.

While celebrating our new foot freedom, there is still that one little issue to keep in mind. Make sure your toes and feet are, well, presentable at all times while wearing flip-flops, please. Thank you administrators and George and Ira Flop, the inventors of the flip-flop. Happy flip-flopping!!!
