I just saw this story of a man whose slipper order came in size 1450 instead of 14.50 (whoever it was who shared it recently on Facebook, thank you), and it struck me that it's like a mix of Clifford and Where the Wild Things Are and... oh, I dunno. It just made me smile, I guess.
Regardless, that's one big slipper!

What a fun story! I can't imagine the cost of shipping that giant slipper!
Yeah. The shipping musta been expensive. And think of how much it must've cost to make vs. a 14.50 size one? There's enough odd about it that it might not be the whole story... but who cares. That slipper's worth it.
Didn't the makers think something might be wrong? A phone call could have saved time and money. Great pic though.
Just ran into your blog when I googled "poem about a pillow". Your "Perfect Pillow" poem is awesome, and the story about the slipper made me really really laugh, so thank you for sharing! =o)
That's great. He can turn the slippers into chairs.
At first I thought this was going to be about the article I read in the NYTimes this morning about a man who dropped his shoe on the subway tracks! That might not make a bad picture book, either.
I'm pretty sure I need that slipper, Greg. I could rest my feet on it under my desk.
As a person who adores slippers, (don't leave home without em) this made me laugh out right. I gotta have me a pair.Thanks for sharing.
I wonder if they have a return or exchange policy? LOL. Thanks for sharing the pic and story.
Hi Greg! Just wandered over to your blog through Comment Challenge. The picture of the man in a big slipper made me LOL! There's definitely a funny story to be told here. Perhaps even a poem. Looking forward to reading what you have in store.
Hi Greg! This is such a funny story. Can you imagine the look on his face when it was delivered! Wow! Hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
I seriously doubt that's true, but it certainly is a hilarious picture and sounds like a fun picture book indeed.
