Still life with work boots

Claire and I have an expression. “It’s ours now.”

You know how when you purchase something, and bring it home, and you accidentally damage it in some way? No way to return the item, because you’ve done something silly and now the store won’t take it back?

These boots are like that. That whole finger incident… it happened the day I bought these boots. When I put the nail into my finger, I was wearing these boots for the first time. I had a bead of caulk between two pieces of wood, and when I drove the nail through the wood and into my finger, a bit of caulk found on the right boot. It left a stain while I was doing the ol’ first aid routine.

I’ll be wearing these all weekend – the first time I’ve worn them since I put some caulk on the right boot and made sure they’d be mine, and I could not return them.

    I really like this one…. except how it relates to your finger. Also like, tho, how you’ll always be able to easily identify the right boot :)

    FYI, RBW, the comment policy requires you use a name when posting. If you want to make yourself available to the KeywordLuv plug-in, you can use “name @ rain boots,” and the words “rain boots” will be your anchor text. Failing to do so can cause some issues with my comment system, including being caught in the spam filter (as this comment was originally).

Comment Policy: Unless you’ve received special dispensation (you know who you are), you must use your real name. For a little keyword SEO love, you may use name @ keyword to have a link to your site (only the keyword will be the anchor text). See the comment policy for more.
