Today, I had to wear running shoes to work. I guess I didn't really have to, but I ran this morning before work and couldn't bear the thought of slipping into heels today and my flats just aren't supportive enough. . . so running shoes it was. Anyway, I went to a classroom to pick up one of my kinders for group. The moment he steps out of the door, he says to me, "I like your shoes," and then proceeds to bend down, give my foot a squeeze and say, "and they're not broken." "Are they supposed to be broken?" I asked. He responded unintelligibly and fortunately we were already at the door of the next student. . .
The foot-touching reminded me of something funny from last year. I was testing a kindergartener and out of the blue, he says, "Can I touch your feet?" I was so taken aback and amused at the same time!! "what? no, you cannot touch my feet. Touching someone else's feet at school is not appropriate." I just couldn't figure out why on earth he wanted to touch my feet!!
What is it with kindergarteners and feet!?
