I never learned how to dance.

i saw a tv show a while ago that had the perfect analogy. i wont' say the show cause that might detract from the meaning.

two guys are talking about a young couple whose love is more or less forbidden. One guy is old, one is young. In the first converstation the old man is adamant that two can not have a relationship. the young man thinks they should. events happen and the two talk of couple again.

the old man says, "once when I was young, I went to see my grandfather and he said something very odd to me, that I didn't understand at the time. He said, 'My shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter because I've forgotten how to dance.' Today I understand what he meant." the old man changes his mind and helps the young couple run off to be together. the young man doesn't understand the word about the shoes and dancing, but he's quite happy the old man choose to help.

most of that doesn't matter. include it for no reason other than to have something else to say.

very simply i think i should have posted:

my shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter because i never learned how to dance.
