Everyone has learned to tie their shoe laces, but some, I"m sure, caught on a little fast than others. It was around the year 1990, when I first questioned the art of tying my shoes. Now everyone knows that there are two main ways of teaching little children how to tie: the loop, swoop, and pull method or the bunny ears method.

I didn't want to go back to school for a long time because I felt to embarrassed to see Robert again because I had called him a big fat rabbit looking boy when come to find out that was the way he learned to tie his shoes.
