Well, lookie here, you young’uns. Let’s talk about them big red boots, the ones that look like somethin’ out of a funny paper. They call ‘em “Astro Boy” boots, or some such nonsense. Now, I ain’t never seen no Astro Boy, but these boots, they’re somethin’ else, I tell ya.
First off, they’re red. Not just any red, mind you, but a bright, fire-engine red. Like, if you wore these boots in a field, the cows would probably start chargin’ at ya. And they’re big, real big. Like, clown-shoe big. I reckon you could fit two of my feet in one of them things.
Now, I hear tell these boots ain’t cheap. Folks are sayin’ they cost a pretty penny, somethin’ like three hundred and fifty dollars! Can you believe that? For a pair of boots! Why, back in my day, you could get a good pair of work boots for ten dollars, and they’d last you for years. But these here Astro Boy boots, they’re fancy, I guess. Folks are buyin’ ‘em up and then sellin’ ‘em for even more money. It’s a whole to-do, like sellin’ them old Elvis records, only these boots are newfangled.
- They’re red, real red.
- They’re big, bigger than your grandpa’s work boots.
- They cost a whole lot of money, more than a good mule, I’d wager.
I saw some pictures of these boots on that internet thingamajig my grandson showed me. Folks are wearin’ ‘em everywhere! Walkin’ down the street, goin’ to the store, even dancin’ in ‘em. They look kinda silly, if you ask me, but I guess that’s the point. It’s like them fancy sneakers they sell at the big store in town, the ones with the chunky soles. My niece, she’s always goin’ on about them, wants a pair somethin’ fierce.
And then there’s them Big Boy bikes. Now, those I understand. They’re big, sturdy, and get you where you need to go. Not like these here red boots. These boots, they just make you look like you got two big red buckets on your feet. But hey, to each their own, I always say.
I heard some folks talkin’ about how these boots were made by some company in Brooklyn. Brooklyn! That’s a long ways from here, I tell ya. And they got the idea from this Astro Boy fella, who’s got big red boots in his cartoons or somethin’. It’s all a bit confusing to an old woman like me, but I guess that’s how things are these days. People like what they like, even if it don’t make no sense to me.
Speaking of things that don’t make no sense, I overheard my grandson talkin’ about some gallery showin’ pictures of… well, nevermind. Let’s just say some things are better left private, like a conversation between cousins on the farm. You know, just regular folks, workin’ and talkin’, not worryin’ ’bout no fancy red boots.
And now these youngsters are writin’ everythin’ down, even their notes, on these little machine thingies. They don’t even use paper no more! Times sure have changed. Back in my day, we wrote on slates and used our brains to remember things. But I guess these young’uns with their big red boots and their little machine thingies, they’re makin’ their own way in the world.
Anyways, that’s all I gotta say about them big red boots. They’re big, they’re red, and they cost a whole heap of money. If you like ‘em, go ahead and buy ‘em. But me? I’ll stick with my good ol’ work boots. They might not be fancy, but they get the job done, and that’s all that matters to me.
