It only said it licks feet. Gotcha.

ah but how can you prove that the implication wasn't that it'd lick anything that touches it? you can't extrapolate exclusivity from only one data point, it's more sensible to assume slutty grass

It doesn't say "it licked my feet" which would be one data point. It says "what if it licked your feet", that is asserting that one condition and no others. You can't extrapolate anything else.
