Not Always What You Think
There's a lot going on in this picture. At first glance you can see that the shoes are unhooked. Closer inspection shows why. Notice the bandaid. These are probably shared shoes among the female members of the family. When they got to this person, they must have been a bit tight and caused this blister on her heel. Ouch.

Wayne -- Nice photo essay. Clever capture in the second photograph. I see you are honing your clandestine skills.
At least she's not wearing the tee shirt that says "SEXY" stretched skin tight across her little six-year-old chest! I've seen that here too! *shakes head* *heavy sigh*
Hey....at least she has a helmet for her scooter! :-)
I see she is already sporting a "midriff" style shirt too. I wonder if she is just holding mom or dad's helmet for them.
Your little girl is in training to be appealing to men in her culture, just as ten-year-olds in Sunnyvale are with their bare midriffs. Gustavo Arelleno, in his wonderful--and sadly now defunct--column, "¡Ask a Mexican!" points out that it's a singular failing of Norteamericanos that we don't appreciate the need for wearing high heels at the swap meet.
