Toe

Face and feet

Last summer my regular manicurist tortured my toe twice.
That’s why I decided to forgo her pedicure for a while. Actually I decided to forgo her pedicure forever.
On Saturday I thought time has come to give pedicure a second chance. I went to a spa around the corner. After Iraq I could use some foot massage.
The Japanese lady working at the spa said: “I will gave you a facial as well.” She studied my feet.
“I’m in a hurry,” I answered.
She said: “We can work on your face and your feet at the same time.” I had no choice; I accepted her offer.
Another lady was working on my feet while the Japanese lady was treating my face as if it were a dirty stove.
All comes down to assimilation.
