G puts her shoes on a lot. And yet in all the times she has tried, I can not once remember her getting the correct shoe on the correct foot.

Beckie confirms.

Chances of this being purely coincidental are astronomical. She can figure out how to take off the shoes, how to stick the socks inside of the shoes, how to root through her show drawer for a choice pair of shows, how to fetch her shoes, how to fetch my shoes, how to complain when certain shoes can not be found. How does she never get the correct shoe on the correct foot?

i encourage footwear. And today in her urge to help me take out the recycling, she embraced my recommendation for footwear with a zealousness that rang of comprehension.

But no conditioning seems to trigger the understanding. Left…right…what’s the difference?
