Part of Slice of Life by Two Writing Teachers March Slice a Day Challenge!
I’m slicing every day this month. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
A Tale of 2 Shoes Yesterday I wore my newish tan sneakers "sneaks" my dad used to call them "Do you have your sneaks?" My new sneaks are comfortable and soft and quiet "You are so quiet!" someone said as I walked down the hall. This is not something I am usually told. Quiet is something I'm still working on. Today I wore my newish black boots ankle boots, everyone has them now Good for when I'm tired of regular boots, and winter My new boots are comfortable and rattly not quiet I hear them click and bounce as I walk in the hallway This is not the pleasant sound my elementary teachers made when they clicked down the hall with their pretty heels.
On a Thought 
Love this reflection of two shoes! Oh, I remember our teachers clicking down the halls in their heels. How did they teach in them?
I always wonder the same! I am not a heel wearer at all!
love the line… quiet is something I’m still working on
Different shoes for different occasions make different sounds.
I saw your title and had to read this slice, because I have been thinking about shoes today. On a recent snow day, I got bored and ordered a couple of pairs of cute “teacher” shoes online. They arrived and I wore the pair that were #2 pencils today- complete with “lead” tips and “eraser” heels and my name printed on the side where regular pencils say “Ticonderoga.” My middle schoolers were sooooooooo impressed. I never knew shoes were so important, or that if yours have your name on them, so are catapulted to celebrity status.
That’s awesome! I’ve seen cool teacher shoes online — I really want the kind that are notebooks… My daughter painted me a pretty cool pair of pencil shoes last year, but they were the cheap sneakers from Michaels, so they weren’t very comfortable!
