Marital e-mail conversation:
I also received a pair of high-heeled backless sherpa clogs, reminiscent of a pair I had many years ago (don't worry, they were cheap, made by Candie's, the shoe brand famously modeled by Jenny McCarthy while sitting on the pot). I will be interested to see what you think of them. Of course, I can't wear them until I've got my center of gravity back, which should be right around the time the weather turns cool enough for high-heeled sherpa clogs. xoxo GC
I really don't want you wearing high heels, or any kind of narrow or tiny heels, while you carry a child; and especially not while going up and down stairs. You only have to screw up once. If you don't believe me, ask any orthopedic surgeon, biomechanical expert, or earth momma baby magazine. Please postpone your slavery to fashion, or keep the shoes at work. Meanwhile I'll call the handyman so we can get the same handrail that Kirsten has. Our baby will thank us. xo BC
Feh, leave it to you to ruin what little fun this old girl has left. I'm all cool with wearing my grip-tread loafers while I carry your children about, Saint Maybe (it's from Anne Tyler, wherein one character addressed another as "King Careful. Mr. Look-Both-Ways. Saint Maybe"). You are their ever-vigilant guardian angel, and I bless you for that. xoxo
