As many of you who have seen my firearms pictures know, I wear slippers around the house. Why do you know? Well, as many of you have commented, you see them often in my photographs – my feet, in slippers, that is. KirkD I am not!
After yet another recent observation here on the forum about my chosen footwear, it reminded me of a funny story I thought I’d share with you all.
About 5 years ago my wife decided to get me a new pair of slippers for Christmas. I wear slippers all the time at home – we don’t wear shoes in the house, and my feet get cold. I normally wear moccasins, and usually wear them until they darn near fall apart. This was the condition of my old slippers when she bought me the new pair.
Only problem was that they weren’t moccasins. They were blue in color, and almost a corduroy-type cloth. They were comfortable, and I dutifully put them on Christmas morning.
Well, we had been up early with the kids to open presents, and were now rushing to get ready for Mass. I got the kids bundled up, and running late, we dashed for the car and drove to church – about a half-hour away. I pulled in to park, stopped the car, and looked down for some reason. What did I see? The new pair of slippers. On my feet!
In the rush to get to church on time I had forgot to change out of my slippers. I had gotten dressed before anyone else, and just hadn’t noticed that the blue things on my feet were my new slippers and not my dress shoes! It was much too late to go home, and so I just sucked it up, and attended Christmas day Mass, in a suit, with blue corduroy slippers on my feet!
I am too young for Alzheimer’s, but I am pretty sure I have “some-timersâ€
