Talking about shoes - Forest Gump 1
Question to think about: Have you seen the movie Forrest Gump? Aren’t we ourselves living and acting as Forrest Gump does? Do you know how many pairs of shoes you’ve worn out?
 

Forrest: Hello. My name's Forrest Gump.
Forrest: You want a chocolate?
Forrest: I could eat about a million and a half of these. My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Forrest: Those must be comfortable shoes. I'll bet you could walk all day in shoes like that and not feel a thing. I wish I had shoes like that.
Black Woman: My feet hurt.
Forrest: Momma always says there's an awful lot you could tell about a person by their shoes. Where they're going. Where they've been.

Forrest: I've worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes.
Forrest: Momma said they'd take me anywhere.
