They call me Bigfoot. Not
to be confused with Lead Foot, or heaven forbid Gordon Lightfoot. To
be perfectly honest, there aren't very many of the "they" people out
there, in fact there's only one, and I think she called me Bigfoot by
accident. In fact, I think it was some other word that called attention
to some part of my body.
But if you want you can call
me Bigfoot. I've got big feet. And you know what they say about big
feet. Yup, you need big shoes. Naturally this sad thought sent my brain
off to go boldly where no thoughts should go. What if . . .
Two little words. What
if. What if indeed. What if there really was a correlation between
the size of your feet, and the size of, well, you know. And what
if the correlation was much too close for comfort - literally. Instead
of toes you'd have little dinky bits, and of course that would mean
that your heel would be the most sensitive of bits. A nice comfortable
pair of shoes would no longer be a luxury. Don't even think about running.
Stubbing your toe would be grounds for a sick day.
There'd be some good too.
Little boys wouldn't have those terrible temper tantrums where they
stomp their feet. And you'd really have to mean it before putting your
foot down.
Sadly the world of sports
would suffer. Soccer, basketball, baseball, and don't even get me going
on the subject of foot ball. Although that one has some rather interesting
connotations . . .
What if I didn't have these
thoughts . . .
