Firstly 2 things we have in common, no 3.
We are both 6'3" and we both wear a size 11 shoe.
Then I was also bullied by guys telling me that my big ears looked like wide open barn doors.
Finally if I were to be a shoe, I definitively wouldn't like to be your shoe, as you torture them by running in them for miles every day hahaha
I would rather be a politician's shoe as they sit in parliament all day Lol.
Blessings!
Btw. I am the same with shoes as JJ @tattoodjay, I have one pair of shoes and I weld in them, I preach in them, I work in them and I even climb mountains with them. Until they practically fall off my feet, as I hate to "home" a new pair of shoes Lol
Haha, well I'm only that tall in those shoes, otherwise I probably would have gotten fun of even more! Oh goodness, people are really mean sometimes. Though they usually aren't too clever since they always seem to use the same insults, don't they? Perhaps that's why you're so kind--your ears are big enough to hear everything and everyone! I would say that is a strength and not a weakness. :)
I do put a beating on my shoes, but sounds as though you do, too! Just in a slightly different way. ;)
Hahaha, since I started moving up in the boxing ranks they became very friendly and not one of the teased me anymore my friend. That certainly put paid to that and I never took revenge. I think all of us have to go through painful lessons in our life as it's school fees and we learn how not to treat others.
I like your Giraffe shoes and I was trying to get a smile outta ya!
Blessings!
