I was trying to explain how and why they were teaching math to a family friend and they didn't get it(multiplication stuff). I broke it down with pen and paper and they didn't get it. Simpler example, nope. Eventually I had to explain how multiplication is just repetitive addition. They responded with WHAT! and I realized why they always wore open toed shoes. I sent them a link for 5th graders.

I'm not very good at math (but not an idiot like your example) and I wear flip-flops every day of the year but they're not related.

Are you trying to say something like "too dumb to tie shoelaces?"

Because there are quite a lot of lace-up open toe shoes and sandals, as well as closed toe shoes without laces, so that doesn't track.

Can you count to 20 with your shoes on?

I can count to 20 with my eyes shut but my toes can't breathe with shoes on.
