Shoeless

During my leisurely stroll through the city this afternoon, I happened to walk past Nine West which had every cute shoe under the sun in the window. Of course I walked in and saw countless new styles lining the racks. I would like to try on this one, and this one, and probably this one too...in the smallest size you have - a 5 or 5 1/2, I said to the sales lady. While excitedly waiting to try on these new, fancy shoes, the lady came out of the back room...completely empty-handed. I'm sorry...we don't have that small of a size in any of those pairs. Really?!, I replied. How about these and those...can you check those? Again, she emerged from the back room shoeless.

So there you have it. I'm going to be walking around this city barefoot because certain stores don't believe in carrying size 5. If I ever open a shoe store, I will only carry size 5. And I will be the only person shopping there.
