BACK TO FRONT
By Paul Froggatt (Room 16)

Have you ever worn shoes in a funny way? I have!
One noisy night at Nan’s house, she said she would kindly take me and my cousins to a concert at the Multiplex. We were in a rush and I foolishly put my shoes on back to front. When we got there somebody invited me onto the stage because of my mishap. Not long after I realized that I had put my shoes on back to front before three hundred people.
How embarrassing! Well it wasn’t a complete disaster, I got a trophy.
