Scene: Fifth floor hallway of the Capitol. I was meeting with a group of constituents too large to fit in our office.
Constituent A: blah blah safety net blah blah redevelopment money blah
Nora: *nodding, taking notes, making sympathetic noises*
Constituent B: We know things are moving quickly with the vote coming up Thursday, and..."
Nora: I understand. And?
Constituent B: Do your shoes have whiskers on them?
Nora: Uh...
Constituent B: And are those ears?
Nora: Ah, well, yes, they are.
*Entire group is now staring at my feet.*
Constituent A: They're mice!
Nora: They are. They are mice. They were on sale. And seemed whimsical at the time.
Constituent C: They are whimsical.
Constituent D: I think I see their noses.

hahaha... no better way to communicate that you don't take life TOO seriously!! ;) Love 'em! And I love the fact that you told a big group of people that they were on sale. And I love the fact that I'm hoping that you really do have a white pair and a black pair. But where do you get mice shoes???
Mice shoes. hm. At least they're not Mickey-ish. That would definitely be inappropriate :-)
