Big feet little feet?

About two months ago my father called me and said he'd be having this big 4th of July thing in honor of my cousin, who ended up not showing up. Anyhow I was up to about 6 or 7 miles per day before I left so I was looking hot! I showered and put on my white Marlyn Monroe dress, it was all white except for a few tan beads around the waist. I set it off with some tan sandals with a medium heel. Well, it had rained before so my heels were sinking into the soft dirt with every step I took so I changed into my birkenstock like sandals. They're comfortable, but unflattering. After a few hours of mingling my aunt-tee walked up to me and said,"Girl, I know you're apart of this family--cause you got big feet," I swallowed and looked down at her feet which were spread over her birkenstock sandals like two loaves of bread with toes and said, "Well, I'm damn near six feet tall, I'd look crazy with small feet," which is what I always say. I have big feet, and I will always have big feet, I've come to accept it. But I find it ridiculous when people expect me to have smaller feet. Black folk have big feet on average anyway....Then I started to think. I once read about a tribe in Mexico who would flatten their noses breaking the bones. Generation after generation they did this until somehow it became part of their genetic makeup. After a while their children were born with these flat noses and now they can be identified by these noses. Okay now, I was thinking about slavery. The feet of slaves had to be big and unsightly because they were always barefoot, and before slavery they were in tribes where they were also barefoot. So my question is: are black folks feet, on average bigger, because of the conditions of our ancestors?When I first sat down to write today I was going to take the diva route and talk about how good I looked, but it seems like everybody wants to be a diva these days. Shit, I've been there and done that and done it so well, and besides my big feet don't fit into those shoes any more.
