just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now,
and you never know, it could be yours. It could
(00:24):
be yours. Buckle up and hold on tight. We got
it for you here. It is Strawberry Letter subject, Thank
you nephew. Where are your shoes? Okay? Dear Stephen Shirley,
I'm forty and my husband is forty four years old.
I work from home, and my husband is a nurse,
and he works four days on and four days off.
(00:46):
He's got a part time job giving COVID tests one
day a week, and he was working late the other
night and I was in our backyard smoking weed and
I heard my husband pull into the driveway. I walked
around the house to surprise him, and I ended up
stopping to watch him because he was searching his car
for something. He went to his trunk and took a
(01:06):
shirt off and put on a T shirt. I noticed
that he was not wearing any shoes. He's usually in
crocks or sneakers to work, but he only had on socks.
I appeared out of nowhere, and he was startled. I asked,
where are your shoes, and he said they were in
his car. It was so chilly that I suggested he
(01:27):
put he put on his shoes. He playfully told me
to get my tail in the house and leave him alone.
We went inside, and when he went to the back,
I went and popped his trunk to get the shirt
he took off. I didn't find any shoes in a
car or the trunk. I put the shirt across the
bed and it had a big smudge of makeup on
the collar. He gave me a sorry excuse that he
(01:50):
helped a woman that had a car wreck, and he
said he lifted her out of the car and that's
how the makeup got on his shirt. Then he said
that the lady coughed a lot, so he didn't know
if he had a cold, the flu or covid, so
he left the shirt in his trunk to be safe,
But he still had on the pants and they were clean.
(02:11):
I asked him again, where are your shoes? And he
didn't have an answer. Instead, he got mad and told
me that I'm never satisfied and he can never win
with me. I'm sick of him not answering basic questions.
Why does he react this way? Okay? Why would you
have to ask a grown man where are his shoes?
(02:32):
Where are your shoes? Why? Something is definitely wrong with
that question, and you already know the reason because he's lying. Okay,
It was a simple question, where are your shoes? He
obviously left them wherever he was, and he just forgot
or something with whomever he was with. Why would a
(02:52):
grown man leave his shoes anywhere? Have you ever heard
of this before? No, it sounds like wherever he was
he left in a really big hurry and forgot his shoes. Okay.
The story about him helping a woman that had a
car wreck and that's how he got the makeup on
his shirt, that whole story sounds crazy. He lifted her
out of the car and she coughed a lot, and
(03:13):
that's why he left his shirt in the trunk. What
come on you? Yourself caught? I know you were smoking weed,
but even you thought that this was a sorry excuse,
a sorry story, and it is you're not buying any
of this, and I don't buy it either. He's also
on the defensive now, getting mad at you because his
story doesn't sound right, and you know it, and that's
(03:36):
why you're questioning him. Police. Don't fall for any of
his tricks, his shenanigans, and don't expect him to tell
you the truth, because for him, at this point, in
his shoes and all that mess, is not an option.
He can't tell you the truth, all right, Steve, Steve, Well,
well let me say this here to answer this one
(03:56):
question fairly says that he's not gonna tell you the truth. Nope,
Well why would he? This? This ain't the time for truth. Okay,
So let's just start right there. He not gonna tell
(04:18):
you the truth? Why would he do that? Don't make
no damn sense at all. I have told y'all about
this truth thing. Now. Oh, the truth matters now. The
truth ends the marriage right now. The lie protects the
(04:40):
marriage and her heart. Let's go over this effort. Your
husband is a nurse, forty four years old. You work
from home. He got four days on, four days off,
He got a part time job cold test. He was
working late the other night. You were sitting in the
backyard smoking weed. I don't know why you felt that
(05:02):
necessary to tell us that, but you did. Obviously it's
a meaningful moment in your life. So and we needed
to know that. You could have just said you were
sitting in the backyard chiling. Now use in the backyard
smoking weed. You heard your husband pulling to the driveway.
You walk around the house to surprise, and see here
we go. Now, all these surprises, and he ended up
(05:25):
stopping to watch him because he was searching his car
for something. Now, the man went to the trunk, took
his shirt off, put on a T shirt. I noticed
he wasn't wearing any shoes. He usually got on crocks
and sneakers to work, but they only had on socks.
I peered out of nowhere and he was startled. But yeah,
that's what What was that? Yeah it was some cussing too,
(05:53):
but you know, I can't go there. I asked where
your shoes and they said they was in the car.
It was so chilly. I suggest he put on his shoes.
He playfully took girl, get your tell this out, leave
me alone. See me out here. Whoop, tell me whoop.
We went inside and when he went to the back.
(06:16):
I went. He went back outside, popped his trunk and
got the shirt that he took off. I didn't find
any shoes in the car on the trunk. I put
the shirt across the bed and it had a big
smudge of makeup on the collumn. All right, when we
come back, here comes the truth. Okay, all right, Steve,
(06:41):
hang on. Part two of your response is coming up
at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's strawberry letter
subject is where are your shoes? We'll get back into
it right after this. You're listening show. All right, come on, Steve,
let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is where are
you or his shoes? Let's just get to it quick.
(07:02):
The man is forty four sheet forty. She worked from
the house here a nurse. You know. He worked four
days on four days off. He got a little extra
job doing COVID test. She was at the house one night.
She had finished her works. She was out in the
backyard chilling smoking weeds. She felt very compelled to tell
us that she smokes weeds. So that's fine. I heard
(07:24):
my husband pulling to the driveway. I walked around the
house to surprise, but she ended up watching him because
he was searching his car for something. He went to
his trunk, took his shirt off, put it on, put
on a T shirt. I noticed he was not wearing
any shoes. He's usually in crocks and sneakers to work,
but he only had on sock. I ap peered out
(07:45):
of nowhere, and he would startled. I love that sound. Girl,
now chuck out her the iced tea. Now walking up
on me like that, that's blanked up. That's so chilly
that I know that she didn't have on the shoe.
(08:09):
So I just suggested that he put his shoes on.
He playfully told me getting my tail in house, leave
him long. So we went inside, and when he went
to the back, I went outside popped the trunk to
get the shirt he took off. I didn't find any
shoes in the car or the trunk. I put the
shirt across the bed and had a big smudge and
makeup on the collar. Now he would go, now, just
(08:31):
what the letters about? He gave me a sorry excuse
that he helped a woman that had a car wreck.
The man is a nurse that he is trying to
save somebody's life and you're trying to judge him about
some damn makeup. He in here trying to save somebody's life,
which is all his career has been about. He said,
(08:54):
he lifted how out the car, and that's how the
makeup got on the shirt. Shirley talking about he I
gonna tell you the truth? Why would he? This don't
just sound good right here? Oh this this sound way
penna than the damn truth. You're not gonna discount the
truth like that. Oh well, I'm not discounting. He nothing
(09:16):
to tell it. And you just said yourself why you
can't ask him for the truth because he's not gonna
tell it. So now let's go with what sound bad.
I'm a nurse. She came into the car wreck. I'm
trying to help her out, and make up got on
the shirt. Then he said, the lady coughed a lot,
(09:38):
so he knows she had a call to flew off COVID.
I can't bring this in this house on you, but
as I love you, I gotta take this shirt off
because it could have COVID own it. So he left
the shirt in the trunk to be safe. Okay, can
I ask you a question? Not chat, but go ahead,
go ahead. I just want to know what was he
(09:59):
cover up? What was our covering something? I was protecting
the safety of this family. What really happened? Because we've
heard enough lies. What really happened? You think, Oh, you
ain't heard the boy you're going we can't stop lying.
But he still had on the pants and they were clean.
(10:21):
He didn't drop the lady, so the makeup ain't gonna
be on the pants. If he had dropped off, that
would be makeup on the pantrongly held up. I asked
him again, where are your shoes? Yeah, simple question. The
lady that I helped was fat. I had to live
(10:43):
so hard. I came up out my shoes, but I
was trying to get hard into the emergency room and
my shoes was out there by the ambulance. So you
left your shoes, okay, got it all. I had to
leave the shoes to save this lady life. Oh okay.
(11:05):
And it was so busy saving her life. When I
went outside, I didn't see the shoes nowhere. I think
some homeless dude might have got him or something, you know. Instead,
he got mad, told me that I'm never satisfied, and
and and he can never win with me. Yeah, yeah,
that's because he only fought the fault. He telled incomplete lies.
(11:28):
So you can win, but you got to complete shoe lies. Okay,
we can't getting mad folded life. And I just told
you the shoes is probably in the parking lot, and
some homeless dude probably got him because she was fat.
And when I lifted up, I had to come up
out t shoe. Well, why then I had for him?
And why was he looking for him in the trunk
(11:49):
if he loved him? At the scene, how do you
know I was looking at how I didn't say I
was looking for my shoes. He was searching in the
car for something something. What you thought he was looking
for shoes. He was trying to find that T shirt.
And your answer is imagining all this because you have Anyway,
(12:12):
I asked, where are your shoes? And he said they
were in his car. They was in the car, So
he thought it doesn't say so he thought it just
says in his car, where are your shoes? First of all,
let me explain, so you can't tell you where your
shoes because he had to get out of subway. Yeah,
(12:33):
he didn't forget his shoes. He was in a time
sensitive shoes he had to leave in a hurry. Damn
damn shoes. What time situations? Situation you win. I could
even get this woman up off this car accident and
on this gurning and into this emergency room, or I
(12:55):
could stay here putting on my damn shoes. That's more
important to me, the old, cheapass crops of this woman's life.
