Converse High Tops - article by Whimsical Wire Articles

Have you ever stopped to think about the number of memories you have with your spouse? I do not mean looking at the big days like your wedding or the birth of children or even vacations. I am talking about the day to day things that have happened that the two of you have shared. As with most people I am sure that some of the memories bring a smile to your face and others bring a tear to your eye, but they are all important because they are what have formed your relationship.

My husband and I will be married for twenty three years in a few weeks. We have had many experiences together. One of the funniest ones came to mind the other day when I was shopping for shoes. I walked past the men’s athletic shoes and saw a pair of converse high tops. My husband was also in the show store but he was looking for a pair of dress shoes. I asked the clerk if they had the converse high tops in a size thirteen. He said that he was sure they did. I asked him to take them over to my husband. I loitered around the racks of shoes waiting for the clerk to take the shoes to my husband. When my husband sat down and opened the box he instantly started looking around the store for me. When we were first married the converse high tops were the in shoe. My husband is only six feet tall but he wears a size thirteen shoe. I in contrast wear a five. When he was trying on the high tops I was also trying on a pair. They were very funny to see next to each other. When I saw the size of his show I had asked the clerk if they came with oars. The clerk and I laughed for quite a while about this. When ever I see a high top sneaker I think about how large they look in a size thirteen. It took several years before he went into a show store with me after that.

After the clerk brought him the box of shoes I went looking for my own shoes and left my husband to try on his. When I was waiting for a clerk to bring me my size I noticed a couple of young girls giggling. I looked behind me to see that my husband had put on the converse high tops and had rolled up his pant legs so the full shoe and part of his skinny leg was showing. He was prancing around the store looking in each of the mirrors. Many of the customers were pointing and laughing at him. Of course he had to come and put his arm around me and announce to the customers that I had picked out the shoes for him.
