Hi seagull. I have known people who lie so much that they really do forget what the truth is ~ and I guess that would be delusional (a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact). So you are probably right on both counts.
But I can't follow your thinking on restoring Caylee's shoes to their original innocence. The shoes were never guilty of anything! All of Caylee's (and Casey's) possessions have been looked at and discussed as potential evidence so I don't think the shoes would hold any greater significance to Cindy (or the public) than any of Caylee's other clothes or toys.
I do agree with you that Cindy was probably trying to improve her public image but she sure didn't think that out very well! She has done so many things that have angered the public that they will be exceedingly critical. She has put herself in the position (with all of her past acts) that as far as the public is concerned ~ she almost can't do anything right. IMO, she should have learned by now that the best thing she can do to help the trial move along, herself and her daughter is just to be quiet.
How different all of this would have been if she and George had been discovered quietly helping the Children of Love with their car wash ~ washing cars. Or even just sent in the flyer to her chosen news agency with a request that they give it some advertisement without mentioning her name. She needs to be quiet. I have found that the most generous of deeds are done with humble spirits and expect no acknowledgement. MOO.
Personally, I don't think they should ever have tried to get into any "causes" in the beginning. I was so sad they didn't have anyone advising them right from the start to just take private time as a family and not to get into public causes...way too early. (For this reason I am sad to see Brad Conway go because I thought he seemed to be good at advising them.) But I can understand her impulse to want to do something good in Caylee's memory and to restore a happy memory to Caylee's shoes instead of them representing only Caylee's absence. I can also understand that she may want to show the public that she's a normal, charitable person, because of what they went through with the public actually standing on their curb yelling at them what awful people they were etc, the negative depictions of them in the blogs and sometimes even the media, etc.
No, the shoes aren't guilty of anything! Of course not.
Maybe you're right, maybe she didn't follow any of the public speculation and discussion about Caylee's shoes. I hope she didn't. But I know the A's have seemed to be aware of some of the themes that have gone on on the blogs and so on. So I thought she might have heard some of it along the way.
