  1. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    About 70 years ago children never wore shoes until they were getting Confirmation, others never wore shoes until they were about 20 years of age. Now a days children wear shoes at of two and three years. All children wash their feet before they go to bed. The children wash their feet with hot water and soap. If they do not wash their feet the dirt will get hard on them and before long there will come corns on them.
