Hello,
could anyone help me with this idiom?
Here is the context:
- How could you?
- I dunno. I sometimes do. Me and my size nines.
- Oh, that's why you came. So I can cheer you up.

There's no other clue in the dialogue that could help to understand this phrase. I don't think she's talking about her shoes. I suppose she's talking about her problems, but I'm not sure.

In Englsh we have a saying that if you do something wrong you 'Put your foot in it' like stepping into a pool of water or other substance.
So the person answering is saying that he has done something wrong by doing or saying something he shouldn't have and then the other person then says Oh, that's why you came. So I can cheer you up.
- This means the person has only come around so that he can get some sympathy for what ever he has done, rather than to see that person - selfish.
Hope this helps x
