My Father Liked To Wear My Shoes

It was weird because he had small feet (9½ or 10 in men's) and I don't (13 or 14 in men's). When he stood in them, he looked absolutely cartoonish: a little man, his feet aswim in pontoons.

Occasionally I'd walk around the house trying to remember where I left my shoes, and in frustration I'd finally ask, "Have you seen my shoes?" He'd reply with something like, "Yeah, I wore them to check the mail" or "I mowed the lawn in them."

I have no idea how it can be comfortable to wear shoes that are bigger than one's own calves, but okay, whaterver.
