two left feet

Poor little Heather Melnitz has two left feet. Her mother orders shoes directly from the distributer. She has to repeat herself when she tells the company that she would like to order two pairs of the same shoe. That she would like them to leave out the right shoes. Please just send the two left ones. Poor old Mother Melnitz has to admit to this company that she gave birth to the girl with two left feet. The one that they saw on that nightly news show. "No," she says, "my daughter does not have balance issue." "No," she says, "you don't have to donate these to us." "No, you will not get free advertising on our next talk show appearance." "Yes, she can dance."
