SHOES: LOST & FOUND (Biographical)

When I was a small boy, I used to take off my shoes in the house and leave them laying about here and there.  Because I never remembered where I took off the shoes, I had difficulty finding them. I even had nightmares about being late for school because I couldn't find my shoes.  Leaving the shoes around irritated my father so, to teach me a lesson, he would throw the shoes down the basement steps to be with the spiders and mice.   Little did he know that he was doing me a favor because I knew the first place to look for the shoes and I wasn't worried abut the spiders and never saw a mouse.
