Green Kicks

Is there such a thing as a second childhood? I'm beginning to think yes.

For about ten years, from my middle teens until I was 24 or 25, I had a pair of green tennis shoes which I loved. I wore them until I absolutely had to get rid of them. Me Aunt Carol actually made a portrait of frayed green shoes and gave it to me. I need to find that.

A couple of weeks ago I was in WalMart, just moseying around the store. In the shoe aisle I discovered green sneakers very much like that old pair from way back when. Did they have my size? Yes! So of course I bought a pair.

Now I have green kicks almost exactly like the ones from my teen years. I feel really, really happy about it.

Second childhood? Well, if the shoe fits...
