Anne: The Case of the Missing Shoes

I am the host of a show that is a cross between Fear Factor and American Ninja Warrior. The stunts, however, are much more intense. Everyone has to wear wetsuits for some reason. One stunt has people rock climbing without any equipment. They then must eat a scorpion, if they make it to the top. This blond guy attempts but won't eat the scorpion so he has to leave. He meets his wife at the sound stage and we have a zip line that he uses to go back to where he can leave. We joke with him because he hangs limp on these zip lines. "I wish the course was this easy!" he laughs.

I walk back to a room that resembles an airport terminal. The place is PACKED with people. I hear a bell ring and know I must leave. I see Michelle and run to her. I look down and realize I'm not wearing shoes. She agrees to help me find them. She pulls out a binder and starts asking me about infectious disease control, a class that our high school science teacher is teaching this year apparently. Annoyed that she's not helping, I agree to help her if I can find my shoes. I'm aggravated because I believe someone stole them and that we're going to miss the bus back home. Michelle groans and decides to help. I tell her they're Chaps brand (do they even make shoes?). I see a pair of white shoes on AJS (a boy from our middle school) and believe he may have stolen them. But AW (a girl from our high school) runs up with them! A little Middle Eastern girl tried to take them apparently.


Michelle, AW, and I race to the bus. Michelle hands me her infectious disease notes and they are a mess! I explain to her that she has overcomplicated the chain of infection and that it just includes causative agent, host, environment and use an example (go dream me for explaining this correctly!). The bus drops us off at Marie and Otis' house. We quickly look for a snack because class is starting soon. I try to get my gym clothes together and again cannot find my shoes! Eventually I give up and decide to just wear forest green leggings and a green floral shirt (very monochromatic) because they'll match my crocs. We try to grab something quick to make for lunch. I open the freezer and see it is completely full of kid cuisines. "How come Mommy buys this stuff now? She never bought us this when we were kids!" I remark.
