Last year's holiday game was Spot the Crocs. You got a point for a pair, 5 points if the whole family were wearing them and 10 points if the whole family were wearing them and they were all the same colour.

The trouble was dd kept pointing at people and yelling "Crocs!! I got 5 points!!"

BadgersArse · 30/07/2009 13:10

that game is now MINE

and will claim full credit

I love my fake crocs, they are soft pink and squidgey, just like my tootsies.

Havent Crocs gone bankrupt tho? My Dad told me that yesterday, despite him and my Mum keeping them in busisness almost singlehandedly

bratley · 30/07/2009 13:13

squeaver!!

Did you notice the smallest child has the most sense? One 'croc of shit' on the floor and one on the 'mothers' lap!

DD came back from TK Maxx with a pair of these monstrosities (but in dark brown) the other day. He claims he likes them, and that they will be 'good for gardening'. I will be removing them from his suitcase if he dares pack them for our holiday.

Should probably have namechanged for that.

My DH bought me yellow ones (wtf) and when winter came he bought me the furry ones I have also the flip-flop ones in black bought by him again, Now that this thread has come up I'm continually worrying about his state of mind!!

UGGS I went out in two foot of snow to build a snowman, ruined!!

UGGS flip-flop go all dark and horrid where your feet are and makes them look as if your a minger

UGGS slippers I nearly broke my neck.

Do any of you think my DH neads therepy??

I bought myself a pair of "Fat-Face" flip-flops are these ok I do love them

Middle aged women who wear crocs often also wear those weird huge fleece jackets with cats, dogs or horses on... This I also hate... weird... why?

squeaver · 30/07/2009 13:22

Yes bratley, that child's going to be trouble as a teenager

Botbot · 30/07/2009 13:24

sorry, meant DP. DD is 3 and not a TK Maxx aficionado.

Curiousmama · 30/07/2009 13:25

FURRY ONES!!! Wtf??

curiositykilled · 30/07/2009 13:25

squeaver - at least on that picture they all look appropriately ashamed.

poopscoop · 30/07/2009 13:26

furry crocs? oh good god it gets worse. Next there will be furry high heeled crocs.

Curiousmama · 30/07/2009 13:27

Funny botbot I knew you meant dp. They are hideous you should bury them now!

Pixel · 30/07/2009 13:27

I hate crocs but I have caved in and got some black ones for dh to wear on the beach (he is diabetic and has to be really careful not to damage his feet). Unfortunately he has really hideous feet and I don't want to have to look at them in sandals, so crocs it is.
Yes, it's true, his feet are even more hideous-looking than crocs .

Surfermum · 30/07/2009 13:28

Crocs look ridiculous on me - I'm a Mick Fanning flip flop gal, the most comfortable flip flops I have ever had. And they have a handy bottle opener in the sole .... not that I've ever been tempted to us it.

poopscoop · 30/07/2009 13:29

cannot be so Pixel, surely.

Please upload your DH foot pic to your profile this instant. One avec le croc and one sans croc, and we can have an MN vote.

Curiousmama · 30/07/2009 13:29

OMFG

poopscoop · 30/07/2009 13:30

Jeez Curious, thought i had seen it all....

Sunshine78 · 30/07/2009 13:30

Just to add balance to this - on the plus side of crocs:Where ever ds goes and what ever he gets on them (he is a typical boy and a magnet for muddy puddles) they can be scrubbed down and dried in a matter of minutes - this goes for whole family as we spend alot of time out doors in woods etcAgain can easily be cleaned so unlike canvas shoes still look good after one wear.When going to the beach can wear them there then on the beach instead of those cheap beach shoes.Can be kept by the bag door and put on easily by dc without the shout for mum to put them on.Keep your feet cool on free of blisters - which most summer shoes give youSome of the new ladies styles are great and look good with skirts - my new ones even have a fake diamond on the side.As it normally rains in this country dont spend the rest of the day squelching around in shoes as they soon dry.AND YES WE ALL WEAR CROCS IN OUR FAMILY - DIFFERENT COLOURS/STYLES BUT THEY ARE BRILL -ALL OUR FRIENDS ALSO LOVE THEM AND THE MEN COMPARE THEM AT THE PUB THE REST OF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING [GRIN]

poopscoop · 30/07/2009 13:30

That pic is one hell of a Croc Shock

Pixel · 30/07/2009 13:31

Well, strange as it may seem, I don't happen to have a picture of his feet about my person, so you will just have to trust me.
Lets just say, hairy toes, veins, and an scary toenail where he broke it off (wearing sandals as it happens, tripped up a step) and it grew back all funny.

poopscoop · 30/07/2009 13:32

sunshine - plus side of crocs???? I could read no more of your post for laughing!

Pixel · 30/07/2009 13:33

that's a toenail, not an obviously.

PaulaAtMummyKnowsBest · 30/07/2009 13:35

I love my alice crocs

They are so comfy and so very practical too. I have a black pair and wear them all the time

Tidey · 30/07/2009 13:41

Yellow crocs make you like you're wearing cheese on your feet.
