What's the fascination of ladies with high heels anyway? It's uncomfortable, one is prone to twist their ankle, can't run with it in case the situation requires one to run (sudden emergency anyone?).
But still, high heels shoes sell like hot cakes and despite the repeated warning of all health care professionals not to torture oneself of using these particular shoes, the lady folks out there vehemently ignore the 'good' advice and continue pouring big bucks into the moneypits of these particular shoe manufacturers.
So the tradition of wearing high heels get passed on from generation to generation. Yups, meaning our little gal has developed a liking of wearing high heels. Does she have her own pair? Certainly not, not if we can prevent her from buying it......
But the mischievious lady has found a way around that..........by putting on mum's pairs.
The other day before she was going off for shopping with aunty Lily, I noticed that she was looking for a pair of shoes. Hmmmm, strange, normally she just puts on her pair of slippers and off she goes....but this time 'round, she was taking her time.
Daddy : "What are you looking for?"
Laetitia : "Mmmmmhhhh....shoes..."
Daddy : "So...then?"
Laetitia : "Can I wear these shoes?" (pointing at mum's high heels)
Daddy : "Errmmmmm.....are you sure u can fit into them?"
Laetitia : "Yes, look,....." (the shoes are ofcourse a few sizes too big for her little feet)
Daddy : (grinning....) "Ok, if you say so, but be careful then"
Laetitia : "Thank you Daddy, I love you, byebye"
And off she went to aunty's car, who was waiting outside for her. She stepped in, and vrooooom......30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes......vrooooooooom again at our house....Doors slamming open and I hear high heels clicking on the car porch. Peering outside, Laetitia with aunty Lily in tow.
Aunty Lily : "Wear your slippers!!!" (angrily looking at our little gal)
Daddy : "What happened?"
Aunty Lily : "How come you let your daughter wear these kind of shoes? She will fall down and they are too big for her!!"
Daddy : "Well, she said it was okay" (beaming a big smile....)
In the end, Laetitia swapped back into her slippers again and sulkingly trodded off with her chin on her chest to the mall...........without high heels.
Kiss your high heels goodbye for now.
