RE: [apmultiples] gender stereotypes

LOL, all my shoes end up right by the back door because they come off
the INSTANT I'm in the house. And yes, even this time of year I'll take
diaper bag, etc. out to the car barefooted. But yes, if I actually get
to the point of finding a pr of socks or slippers for me, I do make sure
the girls have socks & robeez on too. :-)

And I'm totally laughing at the thought of a lawyer kicking her shoes
off in the court room :-) (although I used to be an auditor & always had
to work at remembering to putting my shoes back on before leaving the
conference room we were working in at a client's. When we were in our
offices at home I WOULD wander down to the secretary's office or copier
room w/o bothering to put my shoes on :-) )

Oh, I've been known to go out in the snow barefoot . . . my mother was a

great believer in barefootedness for children and so am I.  As a child I

grew expert in scanning a lawn I was traversing for clover and thus
honeybees . . . but even so I was stung a good few times!  My housemates

laugh at me because the first thing I do when I come inside is kick off
my
shoes, and as a result I have pairs of shoes all over the house--under
my
hassock, under the breakfast nook table, under the dining table, next to

the door, under my computer . . .   when I was practicing law one of the

hardest things I had to do was to remember NOT to kick off my pumps
under
the counsel table in the courtroom!

The babies are often barefoot too, but we live in a big, drafty old
house
and I figure if MY feet are cold (which is seldom) the babies' might be
too.  Mostly they take their socks off and we don't chase them around
trying to put them back on.
