I'm a bit behind the times, but simply had to reply (without having
read anyone else's responses yet but seeing there are a fair number of
them).

Seeing as how I only wear shoes about 3 seconds before walking out the
door to go somewhere (not just outside as I most often step outside
without shoes too, even in winter ... but actually get in *the car*).
 I've been known to wear no shoes when we had people over for dinner,
to find my husband hissing "Don't you think you should sneak off & put
on some *shoes* for God's sake?"

Is it any wonder that my 10 mth old daughter wants nothing to do with
shoes, and it's such a fight that I could care less if she wears them
or not?  <g>

onesies & go barefoot 10 mths out of the year ... dressing a squirming
kid into lots of clothes & shoes is a total nightmare)
