I was out to lunch with Ari today in my neighborhood. I was standing at the cash register at this sandwich shop, when a woman gasped as she looked down at my feet.
“Your shoe is untied!” She said in horrified voice. “Do you want me to tie it for you? I mean, you’re pregnant!”
It only took me a second to reply:
“Yes! Thank you so much!”
With that, she bent down, tied my shoe and then paused.
“Do you want me to double knot it?”
“That would be great!” I said stifling a laugh as she saved the day.
In fact, her handy work is still in place.
