When I was young I looked at womens feet in high heels and assumed that all women had large pointy appendiges in their heals. So one night after some social outing with the family that required high heeled shoes, we were at home and i saw my mother take off her footwear. To my utter horror and dismay, she had no pointy-thing on her foot. i thought my mother was a mutant and shunned her for days.
