Girl Language

So I happened upon an amazing clearance sale a couple of weeks ago and came home with a bagful of shoes for around $24.

I know.

It was amazing.

I was showing off the red heels and the black heels and the little strappy pair to my older girls and The Diva, 6 of 8, when my eight year old son, 5 of 8 came strolling into the room.

"What are you doing?" he asked in his scratchy Elmer Fudd voice. "Why are there all these shoes around? What's so exciting about that?"

"Ah," 6 of 8 intoned, in a superior and exasperated tone. "Look, 5 of 8, this is girl language and you don't understand girl language and girl language is all about the shoes."

I hope 5 of 8 is taking notes on 6 of 8's girl insights. Because he could be a lot further down the field than most guys if he'll just pay attention.

It's all about the shoes.

  1. Someone needs to explain that to my husband. After 9 years of marriage he still doesn't get it. :)

  7. Very wise infomation. My 11 year old son is ahead of the game.....he like to wear my shoes. I'm so dead for sharing this, but alas...yes, he likes my shoes because they are comfy. Please keep in mind that I grew up in Hawaii, so the shoes in question are mostly slippas, or clogs. David is practical, he loves shoes that are easy to put on and take off. I'm not talking heels, akthough he might be willing to try those too.
