Many decades ago, my dad taught me to walk this way (on the balls of my feet) when I want to be especially quiet. "Like an Indian," he said, though that is no longer PC (politically correct). Try it, and see for yourself. I do it these days when I don't want Clawdia to hear me moving through our apartment and come running to ask for food or a walk in the hall. I don't remember ever telling my own children about this way of walking, though.

Hi Bonnie ... that's a cute remembrance. My mother had very good hearing and I remember doing the ball walking if I didn't want her to hear me ... it never worked and she kept an eye open and ears alert on all 5 of us !
