Deer, Turkeys, and Goats. Oh My!

In my first year of teaching, I was in the middle of a lesson on Comparison/Contrast with my sophomores. They were very giggly, unusually giggly for 8:00 in the morning. As I taught, I cautiously checked my fly, my hair, my nose, anything that I thought might be the reason for the mirth. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. “What? WHAT?! What are you laughing at?” I demanded.

“We thought you did it on purpose,” they said.

“WHAT DID I DO ON PURPOSE?”

“Look down,” they said, and then the whole classroom lost their minds.

I was wearing two different shoes. One was brown; one was black. One had a buckle; the other didn’t. They had two different heel heights. I had been wearing them since 6:30 that morning, and the only way I noticed was after the class told me.

I would like to say that I have grown since then, but this morning, as I got out of the car to meet my running peeps, Shelby took one look at me and said, “Are those two different shoes?”

Jen said, “I wasn’t going to say anything. I thought there might be a reason.”

I looked down, and this is what I saw:

At least they are the same kind of shoe this time. Sigh.
