Favorite Pair

He has others, but swears he can't skateboard them. This is the ONLY pair on the face of the earth that he can wear when skateboarding. They've been glued back together more than once. Cal finally made it clear this morning (really wasn't a good idea to wear them to church) that they were going in the trash. Oh my. I guess that means he can no longer skateboard?

How do they get like this?
