This is the time I was bare foot. It all started at the shower. My mom and sisters left and I didn't even know. I was alone at the house. I got out of the shower and changed but I couldn't find my shoes. Then i saw all my clolthes and they were all wet! I was at home bare-footed and I didn't know were everybody was!


Then my mom came and explained why she left. It was because she needed groceries. My mom said she would dry all my shoes of in one hour. My mom dried my shoes. Everything turned out pretty good

My feet are size 9 adult size. This is one time I had to go to school with my dad's slippers. It was a normal day except i cant find my shoes. I looked every where but I can't find it. I checked me bed, I asked my dad, I even had my dog sniff every where to find it.
Then I got the idea of going to school with slippers. Then my dad said that would be ridiculous so I checked the house again now I was 30 minutes late. I gave up but my dad gave me a lot of encouragement so i looked in the garage the n my dad went with my idea so i went to school with slippers. My feet are size 9 adult. From Zhaohao

The last time I was barefoot was yesterday. I was at home. I went to go check the mail. I couldn't find my shoes. So my dad told me to just go out like that


My toes are pink. Also my toes have 10 toe nailes. I have never liked my toes. I don't know why I just don't. Maybe one day I will.

There was a time when I had a dream that I was barefoot. I was on my way to school and in the car I had realized that I had no shoes on! I figured not to tell my dad, but I wanted it to be just a dream. So, in my dream I tried so hard to wake up by pinching myself!
I woke up when I was just about to enter our school. I don't know how, but I knew it was a dream in my dream. I would never, ever forget to wear my shoes before I leave to go somewhere, unless it's my swimming pool. I can't remember much from it though. Just that I didn't enter the school yet. That was my dream of me being barefoot.

Hi my name is Caitlin. My feet look like normal kid feet, five toes, skin, now you now what they look like. A time when I was barefoot was when I was walking home from school.It was dark was raining.
We were looking for artifactsat at a field trip. I steped on a rock, so that told me that I didn't have any shoes on. I am riding the bus home now with no shoes on. I'm home and I got my shoes and socks. Now all I need to worry about is how to get back to my class!
