"I tried mi tios zapatos and fell down the stairs." said Pedro.
"I like my moms' pointy toe spikes. They make me feel tall," said Kyllie.
The kid who wears sneakers with no socks sunk low in his chair and pulled his feet back tucking them underneath his seat.
"Cool, let's switch shoes!" hollered Jon.
In less than 2 seconds, the class was in chaos and the lesson was lost. Foot odor wafted over the classroom filled with giggles and the word gross.
