Pesky toddler shoe disaster…

[Angliski]

Aibu to silently call my toddler an arse hat?

He threw an epic wobbly on Friday whilst coming back from nursery- think headbanging on window style. In the frenzy he somehow managed to lob one of my brand new naaaiiice Michael Kors ( eBay but still…) trainers out the window or something…. I now have only one shoe. It’s possible I didn’t see him lob it and it’s on a kerb somewhere all lonely and wet. It’s also a tiny bit possible that it might be lurking in the house. Kicking myself for having gym stuff in back of car but I hadn’t expected he would use it as a projectile. Aibu?

Also, what to do with my lonely shoe? I scored them as a bargain on eBay for six quid but they cost over £100 normally. Pah.

Out of the car window?

Out the car door when throwing hissy fit and making a plank. The window wasn’t open when he was in the back but the shoe is gone!

I read this as your dh did it. Was gobsmacked. Toddlers are feral little shits. You have my sympathy

Is it under the car seat?

@DecorChange so feral. He’s like a gremlin. So gooey and amazing and then you get him wet and POW!!

@NannyR alas no. dH and I have both rummaged.

See lonely shoe.

If you really want the shoe back, you'll have to re-trace your route and hope no one has thrown it away.

It's a nice shoe. I hope your find its friend.

@Gingernaut I am doing that today. Like I have nothing better to do, but I shall seek it out if I can :(

Why can’t he just lob his own shit is what I want to know?

A tip I learned was write your mobile number inside so if found can be returned... Ds lost one at a train station and I got it posted back!!

How did he get hold of it?

Had you just bought them?

Did he upend you and rip them off?

Or feed them after midnight 🤣 hope you find your shoe

@Gingernaut I am slovenly and left my bag open. He is an unbelievably strong 21 month old though so he could have had them off my feet. He lifted two 2kg dumbbells this weekend and pottered off with them. He’s like Geoff capes and I’m a little daunted by him when he goes tantro hence the lack of nice shoe focus.
