"When you become an adult on the farm you have one size of gumboot for life. When it leaks, a mouse eats the toe, or some other calamity befalls one of the pair (it is always only one) it must be replaced. The problem is that you have to buy gumboots in pairs, so the ‘still good’ solo boot goes into the cupboard just in case next time the other boot wears out first. All the women in my family have the same size boots, so sometimes we get lucky, and a generational pairing occurs."
