Resuming: The father of the superkid turned up with a pair of speedskates. The superkid was less than thrilled. Naturally I protected him fiercely against the tormentor whom I told to begone and get a refund on the skates. Then I started thinking and I had a look online. After much hesitating and salivating I only bought us one pair each (those for him and those for me), but that was just because the figure skates that I liked were sold out in my size. Besides, I don't really do elegant figures anyway.
