These boots weren't made for walkin'

The Husband and I walked a couple blocks to the neighborhood bar Saturday night.  Instead of wearing sneakers, I put on my dress boots.  Several comments were exchanged regarding how my fancy shoes were making me walk too slow.  Several more comments were exchanged regarding how cold it was, and we should have just driven.

As the evening closed, we walked back home.  When we were within sight of our house, I combined our two gripes.
"Okay," I groaned, "I've gone about as far as I can in these boots.  You go get the car and come pick me up."
"I can do that," The Husband agreed. 
"Really?"
"Sure! But, you should know that I'm not coming back with the car until I leave for work Monday morning."
