If Only I Had Less Shoes

At church on Sunday for Mother's Day they announced there would be prizes to give away for mothers who met the requirements for some questions. 

(Note to future self: do not jump on this - a bottle of Snapple is not worth it.)


********************************


What mother in here has the most shoes?  40 pairs?  Stand up if you have 40 or more pairs of shoes!

Oh crap. Do I have 40 pairs of shoes? Probably, but I'm not 100 % sure so I'm totally not standing up.

Really?  No one?  Okay how about 30?  Flip flops count!

I definitely have 30 shoes.  Definitely 40 if you count flip flops. Do I stand up?  Oh geez, no one else is standing! What do I do?  Look like the only materialistic girl in the place?  There must be 100 women here...Why is no one standing!  Fine I'll stand up.  Can't lie in church.  Oh thank God, two other women stood up too.

Okay tie breaker.  Do any of you women standing have 35 pairs of shoes?

Yes, I do, but I really want to sit down. Why couldn't I have won the prize for having a baby in the back seat of a car...much more respectable way to win. I need to look at Eric, is he totally embarrassed?  Does he want me to sit down?  He does!  Oh no, the other 2 women sat down!  Liars! What should I...

Tami Driggers!  She wins the prize for having the most pairs of shoes, so make sure to look at her feet when you see her!

Ha ha. No don't look at my feet, I need a pedicure! Why didn't I just stay seated?  I can already hear next week's sermon..."Don't be like Tami Driggers and own 35 pairs of shoes!  What would happen if she would give away half, just half of those shoes?  The world would be a better place..."

And all for this...

Oh, Tami. I SO would have WON that snapple. I probably have 50 pair of shoes. I wouldn't have even questioned the 40. You are still holier than me.

This is why I don't count my shoes. I would be sooo embarrassed by how many I have. I say the right gal won! Congrats Tami! What size do you wear anyway? ha! :)

Eric told me to post how many shoes I actually have and I said "no freaking way."

If I'm in your house, I'm gonna sneak into your bedroom and count them. HA!
