The Walk Of Shame

Posted by loswhit in Best Of,Deep Stuff,fatherhood

We were rushed leaving the house.
I got the times wrong for my flight to Dallas.
Like I mixed up the AM and the PM.
Scramble…Rush…Scream…Pack…Kids…Cry…
It was one of those scenes. I didn’t even have time to put socks on. Just get in the car and go.
By the time I got to the airport the security line was nuts.
Seeing that you have to basically strip down in order to get into a terminal these days I started taking my clothes off.
Well OK. My shoes.
Halfway through removing my pimp fly Nike High Top I remembered my Saturday night tweet…

It was too late. My foot was almost out and there was a good 6 or 7 people in front of me waiting to go through the metal detector.
And so began the walk of shame…

I made it all the way to the metal detector before the guy to my right gave me a whistle and a wink.

Sigh…

About 15 years ago a friend of mine and I painted a male friend’s toe nails while he was asleep. He’d forgotten till it was time to get up the next morning for Saturday Morning Men’s Prayer. He begrudgingly wore socks & shoes rather than sandals that day. My friend who was the accomplice and he are now married with four children. Talk about grace.

1. you are an awesome Dad
2. Dude, they still let you keep your socks on don’t they?

http://www.deanaohara.com Deana

OH – sorry had to go back and re-read, you didn’t have time to put socks on..

Wow.. Priceless

http://www.betterisonedayinyourcourts.wordpress.com Shayne

I….LOVE you! Not just that you let your daughters paint your toes pink…but that you had the presence of mind to take a picture of them at the security gate.

Thanks for the chuckle…

If guys can wear pink shirts, why not pink toes? Work it, Los! Pretty soon, other guys will wonder if NOT having pink toes makes them LESS manly.

I have faith you could start a trend. Just look at Losiah — he’s okay with being nationally known as a “single lady.”

I’m not sure what’s more shocking… those toe nails, or Brian Wurzell’s belly button showing v-neck shirt http://twitpic.com/1ffms4.

To quote my role model, Paris H.: That’s hot.

Ya win some, ya lose some. I’m a bit surprised that security wasn’t alarmed and got out the rubber gloves. Ouch.

Uhm. As a 20 year seasoned “Nail Technician”, I would suggest you at least give the girl a better canvas to work with!!! cut them nails, dude!
She certainly has a career in the industry if she keeps it up.
Glad you are a rad dad.

yeah — and shave the toes!

You’re a great father for letting her do this. I dyed my dad’s hair once as practice. I’ll never forget how much it meant that he allowed me to. Pluuuuus, I have HORRID pictures of him with bright yellow hair. Love it!

About a month ago I fell asleep in my comfy lounge chair.

When I woke up the next morning I ambled over to the scale. When I looked down to see my weight I discover that my toenails were painted red. And later I discovered my 14 year old had done it while I slept, took a picture of it and posted it to facebook!

That rascal!!!!
