This is not what you expect

This blog has been about different types of shoes and their individual reviews. Today I'm going to share something I stumbled upon deep down in my mother's closet. I found a pair of perfectly polished and unused Mary Janes... in a toddler size 5. Although their appearance fooled me for a grand total of one minute, I realized these shoes were not unused at all. In fact, these were my shoes when I was at the cute (obnoxious) age of 1. This, I believe, is where the saying "act your age not your shoe size" does not apply. I had definitely had bigger feet than my age. Seeing these shoes made me retreat to the old, dusty bookshelf that contained my baby photo albums. Searching through these, I found these shoes in almost all of the pictures ranging from ages 1-3 (after that, my foot size grew). Such occasions include my first birthday, second birthday, and any family members birthday in between. My question was answered while looking through these photos. Why were these shoes in such a perfect condition? The truth is, I never walked on solid ground wearing those black Mary Janes. One of my family members would always be carrying me, even though I was perfectly capable of walking or crawling. Seeing these shoes made me recollect the few memories I had of that age, and I've never been happier that my mother kept these shoes on top of her shelf, deep in her closet.
