IN: Not designer flipflops . Not well kept flipflops . Not even flipflops you should wear out in the open , but flipflops that looked like they had been passed down from generation to generation , as in when they were first invented ! ! ! So much more , but I will spare you all .
Why does the speaker decide to spare the listener the full details of the decrepit flip flops ?

OUT: They do n't want to go on and on about the relatively trivial issue and end up boring the reader

IN: So on the train we went - seeing the dinosaurs and stuff we had n't seen on our first day . I admit , I welled up a few times during the fireworks and on that train ride . Both for memories I have from my trip with my dad ( recently passed ) and memories we were making with our girls on this trip . A very , very special place Disneyland is .
Why would I well up during the fireworks and train ride ?

OUT: Because I thought of the fond times I had with my dad .

IN: I ' m on the eve of summer being over . Believe it or not , as much as I enjoy vacations , this is also my favorite part of school , that moment of anticipation just before . The whole semester is in front of me , four months of opportunities . There will also be that chance just before school starts to get things in order in the apartment that , barring any incident like this last one will be my home for the next two years . Moving day was last Saturday .
What is the reason that it might not be believable that " this is my favorite part of school " ?

OUT:
Many people dread that their summer holidays are ending .
