How to put on and tie your shoes

Being able to tie your shoes is a very important task in every day life, so today I will instruct you on exactly how to go about it.
First, you will select a pair of shoes that you would like to wear that day. For this instruction manual to work properly I suggest picking a pair that have laces in them. After choosing the shoe of your liking, you will place it properly on the foot that it belongs on. If, when placing you shoe on your foot you find that it is oddly uncomfortable and causing you to walk in the similar fashion as a duck, you have placed your shoe on the wrong foot and need to switch it to the opposite foot. Then, you will pick up the string-like objects coming out of the shoe. We call these objects shoe laces. You will hold one in each hand and cross them over to resemble an "X". After doing so, you will cross one of the laces over the other and loop it through the bottom of the "X". We call this "going under the bridge". Following this step you will pull the laces tight. Holding one lace in your hand loop it over to for a "rabbit ear". After this take the other lace and wrap it around the rabbit ear once. Once you have done this you make that lace into an ear as well and loop it through the lace you just wrapped around the first rabbit ear. After you are done, pull the rabbit ears tight and you are done! You will want to practice this multiple times and next thing you know you will be tying your shoes like pro!

That is really interesting and really creative. I like how you used it to everyday life.
