One of my coworkers recently sprained her ankle and, as a result, has been wearing an orthopedic boot. With the weather warming up she decided to pair her boot with a skirt and a white flip flop.
“You better be careful. Flip flops are dangerous and you’ve already shown balance is not your best attribute,” I told her knowing I was one to talk, or walk, or walk and talk. “I know, but who wears white shoes these days?” she said then looked at our co-worker who was wearing white shoes. “I meant to say where does one get white shoes these days,” she said trying to save face, then asked, “Where did you get your shoes?”
“One foot in an orthopedic boot, the other in your mouth,” I told her, returned to my office, sent her the video clip from Vacation when Cousin Eddie gives Clark his white shoes, and included the notation, “This is where one gets white shoes.”
Lol!! Totally something that would happen to me. Loved her save!
