Saturday's Storyteller: "'I love these shoes,' she said, 'but I hate the way they pinch my toes!'"
by Belinda Roddie
"I love these shoes," she said, "but I hate the way they pinch my toes!"
Sally demonstrated this to her wife, Nicole, by stripping one heel off her right foot, revealing one or two swelling blisters on her hallux. Nicole wrinkled her nose.
"If they pinch your toes so badly," she quipped, "then why do you wear them?"
"Because I like them. Duh."
Now Nicole raised an eyebrow. "How can you like shoes that hurt you?"
Sally's face scrunched up dramatically. "You don't get it!" she cried out. "Beauty is pain!"
"All right, all right, Miss Femme Fatale," sighed Nicole, waving her off dismissively. "I gotta pick Wesley up at the station. I'll massage your feet later or something, okay?"
