I used to be able to run down my gravel lane barefoot.
[now I have to carefully walk down it]
Spent all my summers running the ridges barefoot and only put shoes back on when school started.
My dad even made a "no bare feet before May 1".
See how "stereotypes" always contain a grain of truth?....:)
I have the same thing. When I was a kid I'd go barefoot everywhere. Now I can't even walk down the driveway to get the mail barefoot.
