The other day my entomology class went out to Jennings Creek to get some aquatic bugs. When I slipped my foot into one of the boots above the bottom felt really weird. I pulled my foot back out and looked inside, and I saw two shoelaces sticking out. Immediately I thought "Someone tried to stick their shoe into this boot and got it stuck!" So without even thinking about what I was about to say, I exclaimed "Someone's shoe is in this boot!" My professor seemed very surprised, so he took the boot and rolled it down and was most likely thinking, "You dumb girl, there is no shoe in this boot, those laces are supposed to be there." But instead he politely showed me that there was no such shoe stuck in my boot and that the laces were there for who knows what, I don't remember because I was too busy feeling like an idiot at the time.
