The Shoes Come In...

The shoes come in, the shoes go out........
So many shoes. School means new shoes. New shoes means that the total number of shoes in the house increases. If something isn't done then you get the situation that you see in the picture. If you think that looks bad, try to wrap your mind around this little nugget of truth - those are just the extra shoes. They're not the shoes that we're wearing now. They're not the new shoes we just bought. They're not any of my good shoes or my work shoes. They're not any of my wife's not inconsiderable closeted shoes. They're not boots. Those are just the shoes that mostly don't fit and soccer shoes and golf shoes and just extras. It was something like 28 pairs. 10 or so were worth keeping. Half of the rest were still in good enough shape to donate. The rest are out at the curb.
I read articles about massive over consuming Americans and I always think they must be talking about other Americans. It might be that they're talking about us. We might have a problem.
