The Shoes That Spoke to Me

I had NO intention of buying shoes on my last trip into Abersons in Tulsa, but as I slipped on the Lanvin black cone sandals, they spoke to me. They said "you have GOT to take us home with you. You have picked us up from that display no less than 10 times and oh, ... LOOK at how good we look with that black pencil skirt that you need for upcoming functions. Plus, we make you feel empowered, don’t we? Admit it, you love us and have to have us!"

Mind you, this was not a two-way conversation, but the shoes were interrupted by Duane knocking on the dressing room door asking "are you descent?" Actually, I think they were working as a team! The shoes told Duane “just get us in the dressing room and we’ll get her to try us on JUST FOR FUN.” Well, that’s when the ‘justification mode’ set in and I gave in … actually, I cratered!

Let me end this with a certification from a friend in the mental health profession that has certified me as sane. I KNOW that I’m not the only one that has shoes “speak” to them, so feel free to share your story … it’s very liberating!
