Not because we didn't have shoes, we wanted to go barefooted. Our feets would get so tough on the bottom we could go anywhere barefooted, in the woods, across gravel, on a hot tar road, through the briar patch, didn't matter. Now I can't step off the porch barefoot. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Rob Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 My boy when little always went without shoes. One day he went running across "Piles Valley", (otherwise known as our back yard) to meet up with his friends next block over. When he, (while not looking) stepped into a large and fresh lump of dogshit extruding this freshness through the spaces between his toes, he immediately changed his train of thought, and headed for the hose. Well this became a bit of fun for me mocking and making fun of him until "Momma" heard me. Now all I can say is it was still worth the pain.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
