These boots were made for...

I was walking through the shoe department at Macy's with Houdini on Sunday, browsing the fall offerings when I spotted a pair of knee high, brown leather boots that made me drool. As I reached out to touch them...it happened. The left boot leaned slightly and fell knocking the black boot next to it and the waterfall began. The boots toppled over silently. Supple leather landing soundlessly on the wooden table. In all eight pairs of boots were knocked over. And as if I wasn't creating enough of a scene...I yelled out for Houdini to come to my rescue and she began to laugh and snort uncontrollably. Passerby weren't laughing. You would have thought I stole a puppy and wore it as a hat. The dirty looks, the sneers. I couldn't believe it. On tv, that would have killed! But in real life, I was just a clumsy girl with a giggly sidekick.
