Ha. I have a funny story. We had auditions today. And the choir director who is the nicest, sweetest, loveliest, most Christian woman I know was sitting next to me, and she's wearing these running shoes. They say Mephisto on the sides. I said, Patti, why do your shoes say Mephisto? SHe said, oh, my mother got them for me, they're really expensive-- like the best brand available. I said, you DO realize that Mephisto is a name for the devil, right? She looks at me with this stunned look. What? I said, Mephisto, it's a variation on Mephistopheles. The devil. She said, no I didn't know that. She slides her feet backwards, so no one can see. I can tell this is very upsetting to her. Her feet are desecrated. This is not walking with the Lord. She wants to take them off, I can tell. SHe says, they cost 200 dollars. I said, Well, keds cost 19.99. And they have no strings attached. She has sold her feet to the devil! What do you bet she doesn't have them on next week? |
