the abominable snowman, that’s what they call me.

I try not to be offended but their words hurt. What made it worse was the bullies putting snow feet in front of the school. When I was little, I used to love my big feet, making footprints in the snow to make the human’s jump. Now, I hide them, under layers and layers of socks.

Still they laugh.

Mum says, I need to still be proud. Look at Dad’s feet – he can take a walk up a mountain and still be home for breakfast. Our dog, Tiny, loves going with him. I need to send a message, it doesn’t matter – I love them just the way they are.

Today, with my mobile in my hand, I took a selfie of those feet, posting it on social media before they could. Within minutes, someone said…

The podiatrist suffered from an obsession to collect feet something close to podophilia, but he was not sexually aroused by feet, he was just fascinated by them.  He had been collecting statues, sculptures, and paintings of feet ever since he saw that movie The French Connection, where Popeye Doyle says, “I’m gonna bust your ass for those three bags, and I’m gonna nail you for pickin your feet in Poughkeepsie!”  The podiatrist knew how bad it was for people to pick their feet and doing that while you are in Poughkeepsie could get you locked up and this was the start of his fixation for wanting to be around feet.  He decided that he would embrace the cold weather by commissioning a snow sculpture of these two giant feet outside of his office.

It was my first time. The annual Ice and Snow Sculpture competition was taking place downtown.
I’d seen the ad in the local paper and thought, “Why not?”. Amateurs from the community gathered every February to decorate the main street and I loved exploring new creative ventures.
An effort to improve our local cohesiveness was critical, in my opinion.
This year’s theme was “Love Comes in Pairs”.
We had a whole day to sculpt so I set out to create a pair of lovebirds.
As I worked, a strange little man busied himself 10 yards away. He giggled all the while!
“Oh well.”, I thought, “Eccentrics number highly among those who love to create.”
My birds ended up looking like dinosaurs. No surprise!
But the man, I’d never seen before, got honorable mention for his pair of gigantic feet!
I overheard the judges discussing their decisions and found out…

Christine at Stine Writing and Miniatures is our host, and this is our picture this week.
This picture shows two enormous feet carved out of snow.

I’ve heard of freezing your nuts off, but this kinda takes the biscuit don’t you think?
I think it’s rather clever actually, even down to the details of the toe nails.
That’s all well and good, but what about the rest of him?
I think that’s on its way…………..
Aw, come off it! There’s not enough snow to make the rest of him! And the met office doesn’t forecast any!
I wouldn’t look up if I were you then………

Tom look skywards in time to see three helicopters, one carrying thighs and buttocks, another the torso, and a third the gigantic head.

A snowball hit him in the shoulder and Jessica collapsed in fits of giggles.
That’s not funny!
He picked it up, made…
