ck trivia

1. i don’t like going barefoot. inside i wear slippers cos i’ve stepped on one too many legos or other toy parts over the years. outside, bees, rocks, dirt. i don’t like it. i like walking in nice, lush grass. ok, i like standing in it. i really don’t like being barefoot. this goes double for hotel rooms, even nice hotels. however, i love being barefoot on the beach.

2. i rarely sit in a chair w/ both feet on the floor. at least twice a week someone asks me what’s wrong w/ my foot/ankle or leg because it’s red because i’ve been sitting on it.

3. i can’t really chew gum w/out blowing bubbles.
