When I first learned to tie my shoes I was taught the simple “bunny ear” method. Apparently this is what little kids are taught until they get older and learn the “real” way grownups tie their shoes. I was told that it’s some nonsense where you make a single loop and then wrap the second lace around it and then do a back flip while clapping your hands and land doing the splits. I may have gotten some of those moves out of order because I somehow never heard of this “adult” version until I was in college. “Haha! That’s so cute that you still tie your shoes like a little kid!” My life drawing professor was kind of a jerk that way.
I could never figure out the “bunny ear loop” thing for tying shoes, until my grandfather told me I could just knot two loops together. I still don’t understand why people think everything for kids has to be made unnecessarily complicated so it’s “cutesy”.
I admit that I never got the bunny ears way. Dx That story just never clicked with me.
So I’ve always tied it the ‘adult’ way.
He looks like General Grievous.
There’s an adult way? I have to tie my shoes, one can’t tie boots only once, unless one plans on leaving them on their feet forever. Imagine the boot feet from that! <- I only own bots, no shoes. And one pair of Mandles.
You Americans confuse me, in England there’s only one way to tie your shoes. This is why all that “bunny rabbit” “around the tree” stuff in films always lose me, we do it differently. I’m currently, I guess not so much now; I was under the impression that there’s only one way to tie your shoes? Just you had the choice between doing one knot or double-knotting it. Hm…
Thats just stupid as hell…
