THE RIGHT SHOES FOR THE JOB

Mark and I were putting lights on the Christmas tree and Joey was supervising. We got a big tree this year, an 8 footer.



Joey: "Daddy, you need to put your shoes on."
Mark: "Why?"
Joey: "So you can be bigger."
Mark: pauses. looks at her. "What do you mean... bigger?"
Joey: "You know, so you can be taller."
Mark: "I don't need to be taller."
Joey: thinks for a moment and then snickers "Yeah you do."

Then we got to the top portion of the tree. 

Joey: "Now you need a LOT of shoes Daddy!"
