The escalator did it

I recently purchased a pair of Havaianas blue metallic slippers. I've only worn it 3x this week.

Then while on an escalator going down, my dear darling daughter suddenly decided to sit on the steps, while we were only two or three steps away from the landing. Thoughts of Crocs being eaten by the escalator filled my mind, and I stood on the landing of the moving escalator to grab my daughter, who did everything her little body could do to remain seated on the steps.

And this is what happened to my brand new slippers:



Waaaaaaah! :(

Bye bye slippers. It was a fun week. 'Twas good while it lasted. :(
