My association with the sandals and fighting is influenced at least partly to ancient greek and roman gladiators....
I read a mom fight story where the son was told by his mom that at 7:30 that evening they were going to his friend’s house because she was going to fight his friend’s mom, so she sent him up to his room to get his homework done. At 7:30, the son came downstairs to discover his mom sitting at the kitchen table, reading a book. She was wearing a button down shirt, jeans, and sandals.
