An eavesdropper???? No way Jose!!! The silly posts help even everything out, IMHO anyway, if that counts for anything. I happen to think my opinion is the law. I take it for fact anyway....
Now, my mother never tied or taped my toes together, as they are perfect indeed. I use my toes to pick up my boyfriend's dirty underpants when I'm collecting laundry.... (What is my deal with underpants??? It must be some sort of obsession I have. Maybe I should ask Bubba, but he may be too forthcoming with information abut his underpants, os I try not to talk too much about it... Oh dear, me and underpants. I could talk all day... Back to the original subject.... And if you'd like to know about my underpants, please feel free to ask. I have entire drawers full and I have night time underpants, day time underpants, going out underpants, work underpants and school underpatnts... Oh, dear...) Well, at least that way I don't have to touch his underpants. Yucky, ducky...
Back to monkey toes. I'm sorry your mother taped them together. But, are they straight now? Maybe it worked? Maybe it didn't? My mother was obsessed about bugs and worms.... (Now this is rather embarrassing, but I'll tell since no one knows me, I hope...)
Weeelll, when I was a child, my sisters and I would frequently scratch our rear ends (like most children do, don't they???)and my mother would frequently take us to the doctor claiming we had worms (like we were dogs or something???? She had issues with cleanliness!!!!) Finally the doctor told her, "Look, they are children and they are going to scratch their butts! They are not dogs and they do not have worms. Quit wasting my time and your money bringing them in here for this nonsense." She finally quit. But then I had a friend at school when I was very young (I'd say about 6) who got lice and after that she began checking all of us for lice. She threw away all of our toys (burned some too) and cleaned everything in our house. From the time I was six until the time I was 18 she checked my head for lice. Every single day, she combed my hair with a fine toothed comb. And she still cleaned the house top to bottom, as if we had them. And we never did have them.... She just had issues with cleanliness... I look back on it now and just laugh. At least we always had a clean house to come home to, and my hair was always combed.... Maybe that's why I refuse to comb my hair now???
