New Nike's For Brooke

Brooke needs black Nikes for volleyball. She had 2 recent growth spurts, so I measured her feet and ordered new ones online. They're too small. So now I need to order a size 9 for my (barely) 12-year-old girl.

When I was a kid I remember my mom telling me "people with big feet have a large understanding." She thought she was funny, I did not. I also didn't really understand the sentiment. I assume I would complain about MY big feet, and she would toss out this random, old proverb.

Now, despite the fact I neither found humor or comfort in my moms words ... I know exactly what I'll say the first time Brooke complains about HER big feet.
