You get a blister on your heel when you walk a long way in shoes that don't fit property.   Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,506 Barbara, who answers in American English.

	Madhulk  +  692219 Sun, 29 Mar 09 02:50 PM There was no walk. Just a hex that granted everyone a wish. And Oliver was the one who didn't make a wish. So isn't Chloe saying this figuratively as in I'll save you the trouble?  Madhulk

	Madhulk  +  692875 Tue, 31 Mar 09 03:03 PM Maybe I didn't explain it right. Zatanna is a hex (a witch if you prefer).  And she granted everyone's wish except for Oliver's because he didn't have any wishes. Chloe's wish was to understand how her cousin Lois is so good at reporting so Zatanna turned her into her cousin Lois for a day. Another victim of Zatanna was Clark Kent who wanted to find out what could have been if he was just a plain reporter living a normal life. Oliver: Ready? Chloe: Ready as you are. Oliver: Chloe. This will mean leaving your old life as a reporter behind. You sure you want to say goodbye to that forever? Chloe: You know, yesterday I wouldn't have been able to answer that question. But after spending the day at the Daily Planet, I realized... that's someone else's life. Oliver: It's interesting. Everyone seems to have so much clarity after a dose of the Zatanna dust. It almost makes me wish I had my turn at the magic lamp, too. He clearly refers to Zatanna. Chloe: I'll save you the heel blisters. So does she mean she'll save him the trouble of finding out the hard way? You already know what you really want. We all do. We just don't listen.   Madhulk Countries, United Kingdom, Great Britain

	Delmobile  +  692881 Tue, 31 Mar 09 03:34 PM  There are several parallels to the Wizard of Oz story here. At the end of that book/ movie, the "wizard" has granted a wish to each of Dorothy's traveling companions, but he is unable to grant her wish - to go back home to Kansas. Then Glinda, the Good Witch, appears and tells Dorothy that she's always had the power to go back home, but that she had to "learn it for herself." All she has to do now is click the heels of the magic red slippers together three times and repeat "There's no place like home."     In addition to the wishes-granted parallel, there's the idea of learning to be content with your lot in life, and the idea of seeking something that you already have. But, as I said, it's a bit of a stretch from "heel blisters" to the red shoes.      Delmobile Video, Relationships, Friendships, Colours, Countries, United States
