Re: Going Barefoot!!! - Carol

Well.. you are not " supposed " to step on the bees. Of course, since I

have always worn shoes I have no idea how many little bee corpses

might be stuck to the bottom of my feet at any given time. Yet I

would think the bees would move out of the way most of the time - so

they could sting you higher up...LOL

But actually - when I think about it - it seems like when I dared

even wear sandles - I would often end up stepping on a stick or

something - or if I dare walk to get something out of my car in just

my socks - there is always that ONE rock that hits me in the middle

of the foot - just constantly re-inforcing the " get SOMETHING on your

FEET!!! " theme.

Oohh.. the other evening I DID that. Ran outside and stepped on a

rock. All of a sudden I had a memory of doing that at 4-H camp when I

was around 10 or so. I jumped in some water and misjudged the depth

and really rammed a rock in my foot. I hadn't thought about it for

YEARS - until the other night - when the rock hit my foot - and up

came the memory...

I've been out in the grass some... haven't stepped on any bees

(yet)..but have even been amazed at myself for going barefoot INSIDE -

like in the living room and stuff - really liberating actually.

You know - now that I think about it - I have always been kind to

other people's feet. Gads! You should have seen the kids crossing

over that hot asphalt to get to the ice cream truck. I always

expected to smell sizzling flesh. Then they would hop back and forth

for awhile.

But I always pulled over enough so they could stand in the grass to

get their ice cream - and always carried plenty of water to dump on

the sidewalk to cool it off when there was no grass.
