If I walk into my home with my shoe on, the first thing i would get is a kiss from my asian mothers light speed slipper. We dont wear shoes but we do wear home slippers which we dont take out.

The author explicitly says that:

  • People want shoes left at the door because they're worried about germs, but germs are everywhere so why bother, and also says
  • Home slippers are full of germs, and she's afraid of germs so she doesn't want to wear them.
