The Shoes
After trying on numerous pairs of sneakers that were not quite right, Danny finally found a pair that he was happy with. Ready to leave the store, it was to his dismay that I started looking at shoes for myself. Draped across the shoe bench, he asked, "Can we PLEASE go now?" I said, " I just want to try on this one pair". Horrified, he looked at me said, "There is NO WAY that I am trying on those shoes!" and he started to sprint away. With a giggle, I called after him, "Danny, these aren't for you, they're for me", and he looked very relieved. Looking down at the shoes on my feet, I said to myself, "Oh wow, these look really nerdy" to which Danny added, "I know Mom. They really do." Laughing, I said, "So why didn't you say something before I put them on?" He replied, "I thought that my screaming and running away from them would've been your first hint." (4/6/11)
