Got Slapped In the Face Today

I got slapped in the face today By an exuberant foot, no wait, maybe both to them. They had on fluffy socks, so that part I recognized. I had forgotten they could reach my face though. The leprechaun had not granted my wish to be taller Until last night around midnight. Was that my feet? I screamed with delight. I was crazy-happy. I had never been six foot four before. My feet laughed. What? He gave me feet with faces? We are walking around the kitchen now And they are making fun of the difficulty I am having Not looking at them when I. Damn! I keep falling over. It is hilarious, but also nerve-wracking to Go from five foot two and a half, AND have talking spitting, snarling teeth who are Chasing the dog and the cat around the kitchen While they are laughing and shrieking Two different conversations. Where are those damned socks? I think it is time to put them back on.
