When I was in elementary school, I really wanted to be a cheerleader. I had seen some cheerleaders perform and they had put tiny bells on their shoes by threading them through the shoelaces. I thought all cheerleaders wore bells on their shoes all day long.
I decided that I would be "cool" like the cheerleaders, so I put a bell on each of my shoes. I wore these 2 small bells to school on my shoes the next day. I discovered it wasn't so "cool" to have bells on your shoes at school!!! I jingled with every step as I walked the halls of school. It became so annoying to everyone that my teacher asked me to try and walk softly, so I wouldn't make so much noise!!! How embarassing!!! LOL.
