To catch a tiny predator
For those who don’t know, Janelle works part-time as a shoe shiner in a bank. The bank is also the lender for our house loan, so I was there today to sign some papers for the closing. While we were waiting for some papers to be processed, Janelle decided to shine my shoes. Here was the exchange:
me: What’s that?
Janelle: What, the scuff?
me: No, those things that look like little, tiny teeth marks.
Janelle: [thinks about it] They look like little, tiny teeth marks.
That’s right—a cat took a bite at my shoe. My new shoes. They’re made of leather, so it may have been instinctual.
