Damn! I'm sure glad I got these toes!

I was having a hard time a couple of weeks ago. My little sister called to check up on me...

j: So how'ya doin'?
n: o.k.
j: just o.k.?
n: yup.
j: well, I guess it could be worse.
n: yeah, it can always be worse.
j: like...you could have no toes.
n: yeah, that would be worse. I wouldn't even be able to walk around. people would say, "hey, little girl! walk over there and get that. you have legs." but they wouldn't know that I had no toes.
j: and even if you could balance enough to stand up, someone would probably come up and push you on the back of the head to watch you fall.
n: yeah, probably you.
j: yeah. but that gives you something to be happy about!
n: does it?
j: you can be thinkin', "man everything is really bad right now, but Damn! I'm sure glad I got these toes!"
n: I love you j.

My mom said that some lady at church talked about how grateful she is for her toes.. the woman's sister has diabetes and her toes were removed. She can't walk anymore because she falls down.

So I guess toes are extra important?

I bet elephants are more thankful for toes. And cats and kittens even MORE thankful, because elephants don't jump around or climb trees and stuff.
