Attributed to Ernest Hemingway though there is some doubt, supposedly written in response to a challenge to write a very short story:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn"

- birdyrooster 5y agolmao so random
- amelius 5y agoMy first guess at this would be that the parents bought boy's and girl's shoes, and sold the pair they didn't need. Nothing to cry over.
- tshaddox 5y agoOr a place that, you know, sells baby shoes.
- a1369209993 5y agoPersonally, I'm partial to: "For sale: baby shoes, just hatched." but that's back to laugh.
- birdyrooster 5y agoMaybe in Hemingway’s time shoes were so rare they wouldn’t go unused?
