But upon putting them on for the umpteenth time tonight, Clio declared: These hurt.
Well then, take them off, I said.
But mom, they're so pretty! she said, and proceeded to limp around the house.
She may even try to wear them to bed.

On Being Female
Clio has these Sleeping Beauty shoes that my parents bought her: we were all in a Walmart together last fall when staying in Fishkill, NY, for my cousin Patrick's wedding, and they let her pick out a little something as a gift. She had been lusting after her friend Elsie's various Princess Shoes, so when we saw these there was no question what Clio would choose.
