This is not a riddle or a joke. I have puzzled over this for days now.
I was walking down the street to the library and pharmacy. Three teenage girls came around the corner and moved in front of me. Each girl had one bare foot and one shod foot. (same foot). The shoes were not the same.
Each girl was carrying, in her right hand, a shoe. But the shoe was not the one that matched her shod foot. Instead it matched one of the other girl's shoes. Can anyone make sense of this?

A Surrealist might say, respect the mystery. Never mention it again.
But: If they're of college age, maybe some kind of sorority type antic? Need more description of the rest of their appearance, attire, attitude. . .
Or: this was a dream.
Patti, think back to when you were a kid. We used to do stunts like that all the time--not "one shoe off and one shoe on, diddle diddle dumpling my son John" but stuff like that.
clean cut fun.
Monday's "Forgotten" Shoes.
Really, Patti. Teenage girls do this, and you're trying to make sense of it?
They have given you the beginning of a story... or maybe the ending.
First count legs and divide by three.
Then count sox and multiply by six.
Then add up shoe sizes and multiply by sixty-seven.
Deduct seven months for each girl under fifteen.
Then count painted toenails and calculate the square root.
Aliens. Not sure how to fit in.
Women,eh?
An exercise in walking in the other girl's shoes? And trying to make sense of what teenagers do will only drive you insane.
I'm with David - start writing!
Patti - Oh, that is a teaser. You know, you could weave that into a really good story...
I see 57 twenty-year-olds on Tuesday. The trivia they know on any given day would fill an encyclopedia.
Not easy to come after all these brilliant comments.
But I agree with Margot and David. A story, please...
Story challenge?
Girls in the complex here are doing the same thing. My high school senior says that it is happening at school too. Says it is some facebook deal but does not know where to find it.
