So today I met a nice woman, collecting her child from the same school as mine. I'd never seen her before (I usually collect from after school club), and we passed a few words about the weather.

Then I noticed what she was wearing on her feet, and started to wonder if I could ever be good friends with her. Confused

AIBU?

A lady at out school alternates between red satin very high heels and roller blades. She looks just as perilous on both

HighHeelMomma · 05/04/2011 21:53

Were they those funny hoof type trainer things that odd people wear?

It's not so much the shoes that are the issue but my attitude.

Just for the record, they weren't Crocs. Or Birkies. I have been known to wear both. With linen trousers. Grin Wink
