Yesterday I didn’t have classes. I went in to school anyway and got some work done. While I was walking around, I felt something in my shoe. It was very uncomfortable. When I removed my shoe and shook the thing out, I was surprised by how small it was. It was a grain of sand I think. It looked like a single piece of salt.
I should have put it on the tip of my finger so you wouldn’t have to look at a giant picture of my palm.
Come on already – you could feel THAT in your SHOE?! You definitely do have royal blood then, sir. Have to treat you with more respect from now on.
[I once walked around for hours with one of those expanding clip-on ID tag holders in the toe of my most comfortable shoes – of course, I wondered why that foot was less comfortable than normal, but I kept going until I could take the shoe off at the end of the day and laugh at my ridiculousness.]
Your title is perfect. Is this where the term ‘tenderfoot’ comes from?
That happened to me once. Something in my shoe…

YAY!! Weird thing in my shoe… Apparently it runs in the family…
