Under Flashing Blue Mom Snags White
Mom stood, under yet another flashing blue light, thinking she must buy them all at fifty cents a pair. I'm sure the smiling clerk was laughing inside as she bagged more than twety pair of white canvas shoes. Mom said, pride in her voice, that she had white tennis shoes for my kids and all their friends. I looked at her bargain, my heart tumbling, and wondered if I could tell her that kids won't wear a woman's white canvas shoe even if they fit. I never told her Goodwill got all but the four pair two old ladies down the street took. Mom's passion for that flashing blue light was many times a mixed blessing.
