Soccer in Stilettos

Last week, I was giving Sam a bath, and Theo was rummaging around in my shoes. He came clomping out in a pair of high-heeled sandals that I haven't worn in years. (I keep shoes with heels just to remind myself that occasionally in the past, I was girlie, and not just always clad in "mom jeans" and Birkenstocks.) We had this exchange:

Me (laughing): Nice shoes, bud!
Theo: Thanks. Can I wear these to soccer?
Me: Um, no.
Theo: Why?
Me: Because it would be very hard to run and kick the ball in those.
Theo: But why can't I wear cleats to soccer?

Hmmm, I guess high heels do resemble cleats a bit. I wonder if David Beckham wears stilettos on the field?! And the next time I get dressed up, I'll have to remember to dust off my cleats.
