At the nursing home, Mom thought they were new, despite the fact that I've had these for several years. I guess they still look good. And they're very comfortable. I had them on all day, and didn't want to take them off! Though I've found that it's impossible to walk quietly in them... The new receptionist at the nursing home came out of the back room...commented that she "heard your footsteps and wanted to see who was coming or going. Love your sandals, Ma'am." I guess I look - and sound - like a girl in those sandals.
In another town, I stopped at an office supply store to pick up some things. I said "good morning" to a lady in the parking lot and her reply was "Good morning to you as well, Ma'am."
One of the staffers addressed me as "Ma'am" but the check out clerk (a twentysomething male) took the safe route and omitted any gender-specific references.
I had tried out my new sandals, and they fit. My wife was surprised to see that I hadn't worn them. "You will tomorrow, and the rest of the week, right? That way you'll know if they really fit, before we invest in the other colors."
Yes, I will...gotta answer that question.
