I love my kids. If I’m worried or stressed in the morning, Camille sends me off with lots of kisses "to take you to work and help you." When I picked her up today, she asked me how my day was. It wasn’t good. In fact, it was lousy.
"It was a tough day, Camille," I said.
"And did my kisses take you work and make it OK?"
"Honey," I said. "I wouldn’t have made it through the day without them." And it’s the truth.
Abby brought home some school work that absolutely delighted me. Their class assignment was to write a story that solves the mystery about why socks get lost in the wash. Here’s what she wrote (with the original spelling included):
Today I was watching through the washer window. Suddenly I saw some green thing. They were eating my socks. I opened the door to the washer and grabbed them and poured them in a jar and shwed them to my mom and dad. They sad to keep them so they wouldn’t eat our socks. After that I put them in a pot and put water in the jar and poured them in the jar. Then I put the jar in the freezer. I kept them in their for 3 months. I took them out of the freezer they wear frozen. Me and my parents were happy and tats how we solved the sock mystery.
There are illustrations, too!
Now I ask you: who could still be depressed after that?

Can Abby come over and capture my sock eaters? I’ve kept stray socks for years hoping the other one would turn up. Guess I can just throw them away since the mates are in the belly of some green thing! Ha,Ha
