Shoe Stories.....

I think that kid's shoes can tell lots of stories. When I visit my grand kids, I am always tripping over shoes. As soon as they get home from school, off go the shoes in the hallway. Outside the back door are all sorts of shoes that get kicked off helter skelter. Look in the closet and the shoes are anywhere but in the shoe holder. But I got to looking at them and thinking about the stories that they could tell. The shoes that go to the park, get stuck in the mud or dodge the dog deposits on the path. The shoes that jump rope, ride scooters and play on the climbing equipment at school. Or what about the slippers that warm chilly feet while Mom reads bedtime stories. All of a sudden, I wasn't upset about tripping over little shoes. They have become the chroniclers of my grandchildren's adventures. They are stories worth keeping.
