“You finally took them off then.” mum said when she entered.
“I’m finally indoors.” I smiled,
wiggling my toes and arching my feet.
“You did well to keep them on as long as you did,” Mum said as she sat.
“Most women kick them off at every opportunity.”
“Well, I did take my heels out and give my toes a wiggle every now and then,” I said.
“I noticed. Anyone would think you’d been wearing them for years.”
I looked at the high-heeled court shoes I’d worn all day.
“I guess they do look harder to walk in than they actually are,” I said.
“And I quite liked being a bit taller,” I added.
“Ah, so that’s why you kept them on,” Mum replied.
I smiled and said I kept them on because we’ve been outside all evening.
