What is a mother to do if she can't find her child's left shoe? Going barefoot is one option, but some occasions simply do not lend themselves to bare feet. Tammy's mother has also learned a very big lesson, to be careful about what she says, because kids take our offhanded comments very seriously, even if we do not. So the mystery is: where is Tammy's left shoe? In fact, where are all of Tammy's left shoes? Does Tammy have a problem with her left foot, or is there another reason all of Tammy's left shoes are missing? Read "Tammy's Left Shoe" and find out for yourself.
