Foot in Traffic

This afternoon, I was passed by a man in a pickup truck. He had his window down, and his shoeless foot was hanging out of the driver’s side window. He had blue and white superhero socks on, and his foot was bobbing with joy or perhaps to the beat of the music. For some reason this made me laugh. Maybe it was how whimsical it was. Maybe it was the carefree nature of the man…or maybe it was the nature of his foot only. Maybe the man had no control over any of that. Maybe his foot had a spirit all its own. It’s funny what will make you happy when you’re having a rough day.
