SF Gate Picture of the Day: Shoe Chewing

Eight-month-old Anna D'Ecorle chews on one of the hundreds of children's shoes placed around the Statehouse rotunda at Topeka, Kan. The idea was to remind lawmakers of the importance of early childhood programs, or maybe of why parents should stencil names on kids' footwear.

As well as what kids will do with shoes if you leave them laying around. I guess the best you could hope for would be 1) the shoes are new or 2) the shoe she's chewing on is her own.
