Shoe mystery explained

My massage therapist informed me that larger shoe size is a common effect of the kind of deep tissue massage I’ve been having. She says it’s just that your feet are allowed to move more freely, like undoing footbinding. Bodywork on the legs and hips affects the feet also. Apparently at the end of her own first ten sessions, her feet had gotten a size and a half larger. She apologized for the need to get new shoes, and promised that she is not in business with shoe companies.

So maybe I’m not getting old yet after all. Heck, I’m not even thirty-eight.
