Ruby Slippers

This morning at Mass I sat next to the nuns.  (The nuns!!!!!!!  Love them!!!!!)  I was wearing these super cute black wedges I bought a few months ago, and it wasn’t long before the nun nest to me was checking them out.  (She’s a girl…she notices shoes…I like that in my nuns.)

After Mass, she touched my shoulder to get my attention and said “Cute shoes.”

“Thanks” I replied.

“I have a soft spot for cute shoes.” She admitted.  ” I always secretly wished to be Dorothy with those glittery red pumps.”

“Me, too.” I told her, not adding that I own 2 pair of shiny red pumps for just that reason.

“It’s the only fly in the ointment, for me, no red shoes.”  She said laughingly as she walked off toward the nun car.

So, here’s my question…she’s a nun who always wanted to wear Dorothy’s shoes….I happen to have sparkly red stilettos….would it be okay to invite her over for dinner and let her wear my ruby slippers?  Would that count as charity or temptation? 

Either way, the thought of that nun in 4 inch heels makes me giggle just a bit.
