A week ago, I caught a movie in town with a friend.
As we prepared to depart - she for the train and me for the bus - she nodded towards my foot and said, 'Your toenail is going to fall off.'
Surprised, I was quick to ask, 'How do you know?'
'It's happened to me many times!' she exclaimed.
I was shocked. Just from my single experience, I'm fairly certain that injuring your toenail to the extent that it'll fall off is no mean feat.
'From wearing shoes that are too tight,' she added.
There was nothing left to do but accusatory finger pointing. 'Toes abuser!' I crowed.
For the record, how I got to this stage was a complete accident and not anything to do with footwear. I try to be kind to my appendages. But having a loose nail flapping on your toe is rather amusing too!
