did i REALLY need to know ALL that??

i've been leaving my work shoes in the entry-way outside our door. they're pretty filthy from all the undercoating (tar-like black goo that we coat the underside of the truck bodies with), paint and other junk that get stuck to my shoes at work. i just didn't want to bring them into our house. all the other footwear is brought inside.

one day last week, as sandi arrived home from work, she said, "hmmmmm...maybe i should leave my shoes outside too, huh??"

"why?" i asked, wondering how dirty hospital floors could be.

"they get covered in blood and placenta all day," she calmly replied. "...there are explosions of blood...and it's all over the floor."

"yikes!" i thought to myself...she could have just said, "they get some blood on them while i'm delivering the babies." but not my wonderful wife!!=)

yes, dear...i think it might be a good idea to leave them outisde!
