Me: Lucy, do you want me to take your shoes off?
Lucy: NnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnO!
The expression that accompanied her firm answer was similar to a look one might give to a person who was asking for one’s social security number in order to use the sidewalk… confused, annoyed, offended, angry…
Me: You say “No thank you”, Lucy.
Immediately, she began to shake her foot wildly, screeching and howling. I know that shake. It’s the “I want my shoe off” shake. Hmmm, she said “No” before, but dare I ask again?
Me: Do you want your shoes off?
As quickly as they emerged, the horns retracted.
Lucy: Shoe offfff. Gock (sock) offfff.
I give.
