Ah yes!!! But I will have shoes on!

I was not looking for a confrontation, nor was I judging anyone for their dress - or lack of it. Yes - unusual circumstances do come up. But when I see children barefoot in stores with their caregivers, in the middle of the day, casually shopping, then I can't help but think there was no unusual circumstance involved.

And yes - I successfully raised 2 children to adulthood, in spite of all the household perils, and those away from the home too. Just part of responsible parenting, I guess.
