Ripples


Ripples act like a foot massage when you walk on them in bare feet. This reminds me of a story. When my oldest daughter was around two and just learning to speak, my niece stayed with us for a term of college. My daughter asked her for new feet. My niece couldn't understand what my daughter wanted. Eventually we figured it out; we live in a bilingual household and she was using one word in French and the other in English. When she said, "I want new feet!" she meant she wanted to go barefoot. In French that is "nu pied." She really wanted "nu" feet!
