The Boot

I tend to have a soft spot in my heart for all the crazies that shop at Goodwill. They are refreshingly odd and candid. I was at Goodwill today and this woman comes up to me and says "Do you wear around a size 8 1/2 shoe." I told her I wear exactly a size 8 1/2 shoe. She then holds up the most hideous cheap ankle boot made of cheap fake snake skin and says "You should get these, they are beautiful, made in Italy. I wish they were my size but they are way too small for me." She then looks at me full of hope that I would be excited about her find but damn they were ugly. I said "Oh thank you, they are very nice but just not my style." She smiled and then starts a private conversation with herself.
