These Shoes are...Evil

The other morning, my 3-year-old daughter came into my office asking for help putting on her shoes. They were some black shoes that I knew she liked to wear. However, when I told her how beautiful I thought her shoes were, she told me, "They're not beautiful--they're evil!" I'm not sure where that came from, but hopefully we won't have a case like in the Hans Christian Andersen story, The Red Shoes.
