They're Shoes!

Adam and I walked out to the mailbox today to get the mail. On the way, Adam not only walked through the dirt but used his shoe to move the dirt around. I said, "now your shoes are muddy, wipe them off on the grass." After he did that, I looked at his shoes and said, "Hmm, they're still a little dirty." He looked at me and in a somewhat disgusted voice said, "Mom, they're shoes. They're supposed to be dirty." It struck me as so funny because I guess he's right and that's why we generally take our shoes OFF when we go in the house.
