Shoes from a Mannequin

I thought of something else today. When Julie and I were shopping for clothes for her family for Mom's funeral, we couldn't find quite the right size of some cute little black patten leather shoes for Leah. We looked all over and found some size 12's, but size 13 would be better - and would certainly fit her for Christmas. We looked all over the shoe department. We finally decided we'd have to live with the size 12's. That was the final thing on our list - so we headed to the checkout. As we passed the young girls department, Julie stopped dead in her tracks. I was confused - what did we forget? I didn't see her laser focus on the mannequin - more specifically the mannequin's shoes. It was the same style we were looking for! Julie took off the mannequin's left shoe - and it was a 13! We checked with someone who worked at the store - who said she had just put those shoes on the mannequin 2 hours before - and if we would wait a few minutes she would gladly get us the box they belonged in. We waited - and came away with exactly what we wanted. That Julie is something else!
