Shoes.

Here me is again in Florida, visiting Ma.

Every time I got to go through that airport routine, take off belt, shoes...

...

I does think...

...suppose somebody pants fall down?

Or worse, suppose somebody shoes smell 

foul 

fetid 

putrid 

like Mattaar shoes?

Waaaaahhhhhaaaaaaa.

Dat man shoes did smell so bad like rotten cheese and ganda egg...

...long Guyana story for another day!

:-D

Y'all does remove shoes at the door when you enter you' home? 

We do, in Guyana, and we bring the habit here in Florida.



Fortunately, we shoes does behave civilised.

Shoe superstition: never buy shoes for you' man or woman.  They gon wear dem same shoes and walk out on you.

In some culchas, if you beat somebody with you' shoes...BIG INSULT!

Speakin' of culture and shoes, one of the best stories I ever see about shoes was a movie, Children of Heaven, about a boy and he li'l sister adventures 'cause of a lost pair o' shoes.

Things we take for granted, eh?

  1. I really like the idea of leaving shoes at the door. And wish I could convince the person I share the house/my life with.

      My mum taught an American diplomat (in Guyana) years ago to remove shoes :-D

  2. Your post has made me think about the rapper Cardi B hitting Nicki Minaj with her shoe. Well she missed but she tried.

    Don't most people take off their shoes when inside their house?

    1. Joey, seems like most people wear their shoes in their home here. Definitely, most people don't in Guyana. Too much cow poo on the road :-D

      Hahaha, yes, I saw the news about Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. I had to laugh :-D

      :-D

      :-D

    1. Stephen, with the way people divorce these days like their changing clothes, I have a feeling shoes-power have become null and void.

  5. My son's wife's family always remove their shoes. I reckon by the time people have walked through the garage and back porch their shoes should be OK but the grand children mostly remove them. What I DO hate is if they leave them where I can fall over them.

  6. I wouldn't dream of buying shoes for my wife - I can't even get earrings or a scarf right...

  7. Usually remove my shoes for more comfortable indoor wear. My grandchildren remove theirs and I have to train them to leave them where Grandma won't fall over them.
