Spick-and-Span Boots

Trotting back from the café patio left my favorite boots speckled with dry sidewalk grit! I scrambled up the dresser drawer pulls and hopped straight onto the round wooden vanity tray. Right next to a tall glass canister sat a neat stack of quilted cotton pads—instant pit-crew gear! I yanked a fluffy white round free and went straight to work, rubbing each glittery toe in brisk, energetic circles. The chalky dust wiped right off onto the cotton, leaving the pink heart emblems squeaky clean and gleaming under the vanity lamp. I kicked both heels against the lacquered wood—*tap-tap!* Spotless and stage-ready!
