So this morning I got up early to defend the house against intruders, and just as I was settling in for a nice breakfast of bran, prunes and grape juice an alarm sounded upstairs. Climbing the stairs on my bad leg, I soon determined that the sound was coming from the neon room (lime green and pink) decorated by the middle child and her mother.
I was going to knock, but everything was open and all the lights were on, as the little lady had left it last night to go to a friend's house. Timidly venturing in, I found the alarm clock and managed to figure out its electronic logic after ten minutes and turn it off, i.e., I pulled the plug. I then proceeded to turn off the lights, starting with the closet, then stopping with the closet.
To my wondering eyes, I saw a shoe store set up right here in my house; it is now apparent to me why that I will never retire.
This particular child is heading off to college in six weeks and intends to take every last piece of footwear with her. I feel like I should warn somebody.

That is quite a podiatric covering collection she's got going on there. Hope dorm closets have gotten bigger. =)
i love this
oh my gosh dad come on.
Dad doesn't go upstairs very often.
Mom
hahahaha
Hilarious. I'm not sure if Camille is embarrassed or proud of this. Camille?
Responding to Scott, Marleen and I have been analyzing the phrase "oh my gosh dad come on" with a microscope, and think at most she is embarrassed because her shoes are not organized -- either that or she doesn't think this is any big deal.
it's weird to finally recognize that there WAS a lot of shoes in the closet. I always thought that was normal for a girl. Then i relized that i only have a pair of tennis shoes, platform flip flops, crocs, and flats. only two of those four are comfortable! jeez camille! Really.... Do all of those shoes fit you????
