HA my mom is over it in the same way. It flips me out because I have it too and when we are ut she wears flip flops or sandals and I am embarassed of other people seeing it. Assuming I have it to, which darn it I do! Maybe, I am also a little jealous that she is over it or doesnt care. We all really shouldnt care, but its much easier said than done. It used to keep me up at night in tears, asking "why me, what did I do to deserve this? Maybe I am punished to be alone because no one can love me like this....maybe I am destined to be a monk or something." Well, I am no monk, and I am not lonely and I have a beautiful daughter....whom I will make sure doesnt suffer the same embarassment. You see, in my lifetime, my own parents or siblings dont see my feet, thats how good at hiding it I was. They "know" about it, but havent laid their eyes on it. So in turn, this has battle has been all on me. If it does develop in my daughter, I want to know and be there with her. I keep hoping that my wife's "normal" foot genes trump my brachygenes and all our kids end up with her feet. i also joke that as long as they have her feet and my brain, they will be perfect kids.
