In Oklahoma, when people from church come to our apartment, they don’t ask if they should take their shoes off. They just walk on the rug. But then our rug isn’t very nice, so maybe they aren’t embarrassed when they get mud all over it. It’s the most expensive thing we have, because our TV is a hand-me-down. But it’s still not that nice. My mom doesn’t say anything because they never start the tarof and they never realize when she’s doing it.
