John told what happened when neighbor Logan (8) came over several days ago. He saw
shoes on the floor and was amazed at the size.
Logan said, “Those shoes are so big. Whose are they?”
John replied, “Nathaniel’s.”
“What size are they?” he asked incredulously.
John said, “Size 14 or 15.”
Logan said a bit wistfully, “When my feet grow a little more, I’ll be size one.”

I remember wanting big feet when I was like ten or twelve. Feet generally give you and idea of how tall a person will be, but not always. Like when I see a puppy with big paws, I know he is destined to be a bruiser. Same with kids… generally. I didn’t get that tall. LOL

I wasn’t privy to the secret of big feet, so I didn’t wish for long feet. I was satisfied with my height most of my life. Now that I’ve shrunk a few inches, I wish I’d had more to begin with.

I hear you. I started out at just over 5’2″ inches and I’m 5′ 1 1/2 inches, so not too bad. Better than I expected. I always wanted to be 5’6″ by granddaughter is nearly 6 feet.

Oh my! Is it hard for Nathaniel to find shoes? They sure look big!
LikeLike
I’ve never seen Nathaniel go barefoot, so he must manage to buy shoes. Last summer we took him to an outlet shoe store, and they had nothing in his size. We went in the first shoe place we came to in the mall, and he had choices. I think there are so many tall people now that bigger shoes are “in” and available.

I remember an old boyfriend was 6’5″ and had a lot of trouble with everything from shirts and pants to shoes. He had to shop in specialty stores. If a store has the word specialty in the title, it means it costs more! 🙂
LikeLike
Yes, I’m sure specialty = $$$. I’ll have to ask Nathaniel where he has shopped. I know John bought him work pants and t-shirts at Walmart at the beginning of the summer.

He was probably slumming to go to Walmart. For the past six years he has worn a suit to school every day!! People didn’t recognize him the last day of school when he wore shorts.
