Mom:Oh Jacob, how about these sneakers?

Jacob:Mom? They’ve got Velcro.

Mom:Well, then how about these? What is this style called?

Salesgirl:They’re tennis shoes.  They’re very popular with teens and young adults.

Jacob: Oooo, Mom, can I get these?

Mom:What are those?

Jacob:They’re  Chuck Taylor’s!   Everyone has them! Can I, please?

Mom:I don’t know. Would they go with your clothes?  The backs are really high. and the way the tongue just sticks up. They’re almost like a boot.  And the sole doesn’t look like it would have a very good grip.

Jacob: They’re only forty-five dollars!   And they’ve got cool fluorescent orange shoelaces! Mom?

Mom:OK, try them on.

Salesgirl:What size are your feet?

Mom:He is a size nine.

Salesgirl:We’ll try a size forty-three on you first，and see how that fits.

Mom:A what?

Salesgirl:They come in European sizes.  He should be a size forty-three.  I’ll be right back.
