This is fine most of the time except in The Big Easy.
Hunter and I were walking along the river. I had stopped to take a picture of him to send to his wife, when a lady said let me take it of both of you.
Big mistake.
She hands me back my phone. Still good, huh?
I'm thinking what a sweet thing for her to do until she grabs Hunter's hand and says, " I bet I can tell you where you got your shoes".
Remember we think we should be NICE and not hurt her feelings.
So we kinda laugh and she whips out this old dirty squirt bottle. Before we can blink, she had poured some brown sudsy liquid on his expensive, 1st time to wear them, leather shoes. We couldn't say anything, totally speechless.
I finally find my voice, "Those are leather shoes. Won't that hurt them?" " No honey" she says, "this is special oils just for leather".
Rightttttt.....
His shoes now have this huge wet spot on the top of them.
She stands up and says, "Now, can I tell you where you got those shoes?
On the bottom of your feet!"
Which she thinks is so funny. "Oh and that will be 10.00 for the shoes!
Oh my goodness!
Gullible right?
I fumble around in my purse and pull out a 10.
Yes, I gave her it to her. After all, we did fallen for her scam. I guess she deserved something for that!
We walked away a bit less gullible. We hurried to the car as I look up 'what is the liquid people squirt on shoes in New Orleans'.
In fact, as we walked by the levies in NOLA yesterday, I heard "I bet I can tell you where you got those shoes" to a couple of tourist. To late to warn them, the mixture of soap and water {not special leather oil} was already on her shoes.
I wondered if they paid.
Probably, as they wiped the 'stuff' off their shoes.
