Did you go barefoot in the summer? If so, relate an experience about stepping on something.

Only between the house and the canal and even then we often wore old tennis shoes due to the rocks and stickers. I did step on plenty of them when we went barefooted but we also didn’t wear them in the canal as we swam so the areas of the canal where it was sandy on the bottom it felt pretty good but other times when we landed on the rocks it didn’t feel at all great. I do remember coming back through the barnyard a couple of times though and stepping in fresh cow manure not because I wanted to but there was no where else to step. That didn’t happen but just a couple of times since the smell of the manure would stick to you for hours, it was bad enough always coming in from doing the chores smelling like a cow as to have to do it on purpose.
