Red Boots

One day mom was going to take me shopping for some pretty little dress shoes to wear to church. When we got to the shoe store--we were looking in the huge front windows at all the shoes on display. Mom was pointing out different dress shoes we could choose from. It didn't take long at all for my eyes to zoom in on a little pair of red cowboy boots! I was so excited---my heart was fluttering! Mom said something like, "yes they are cute but you need some church shoes." We went on in and sat down in the chairs. The salesman came over and mom told him that we wanted a pair of dress shoes for me. I told him I wanted the red cowboy boots. He was smiling as he measured my foot to find my size. He came back with several different styles of dress shoes for me to try on. I promptly sat on my feet. Mom told me to get off of my feet so the salesman could try them on me. Obedient as I was, I of course did that. As he started to put a pretty little dress shoe on my foot, I scrunched up my toes so the shoe wouldn't go on. This continued for a while much to mom's dismay and the salesman'ts humor. He couldn't laugh of course, but he was having trouble hiding a smile, afterall I was really cute!! Mom gave in and I got my coveted red cowboy boots and I thought they looked great with my dress that following Sunday at church.

    This one about the boots and "say duck" are my favorites of all of them---and I do have some tales to tell as everyone is finding out!

    They were not in her belongings, when the sis's and I went through and divided up some stuff. However, there were three pairs of baby shoes---I'd a rather had the boots. lol

    stubborn children... runs in the family, i guess! :) Once again, I can see someone else trying to get the red boots and wearing them to church. Actually, I can see two of my children doing that...

    Besides Hannah, you wouldn't be referring to our "fashion model" would you?
