I felt the meeting had gone well. As I walked out of the room, I held my head high. I also walked with a bit of a wobble.
My gait was askew and I knew not why. Pausing in the hallway, I reached down and felt the bottom of my right shoe. There I found a gooey fruit snack stuck to my sole.
Carrying the deceased raspberry snack to the trash can, a nasty thought crossed my mind. Why was the snack able to adhere to my foot? One answer came to mind. It had been premoistened in the mouth of another.
I felt a little less sure of myself. Yes, I was only sure of one thing. The sink would be my next stop and a quality hand scrubbing would be next on the agenda.
