Where Did That Sock Come From?
Filed Under Life Happenings | Comments Off
As I prepared myself for work, I looked into my sock drawer to get a pair of black socks. I wasn’t sure if there was actually a pair there though, as my bag of laundry has grown quite large. As the drawer creeped open, I could see at least 4 distinct black socks. “Oh good”, [...]
