This morning, Child was putting on her socks just outside the bathroom where Mean Mother was getting ready for work. Child unfolded the pair of socks, slid her foot in and, gasping as if the sky was falling, clamped her hands over her toes.
"What's the matter with your sock?"
"Nothing".
"Why are you covering your toes?"
"Because".
"Is there a hole in your sock?"
"No".
"Is your sock dirty?"
"No".
(Mean Mother moving in closer to the offending foot)
"I'm not going to show you".
"Oh yes you are" (prying Child's hands off her toes) "AAAAAHHHHH!!! OH NO... IT'S INSIDE OUT, IT'S INSIDE OUT. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO????"
Laughing hysterically, "Oh Mother, you are so hilarious".
Thank you. Thank you very much. If you stick around, the encore tonight will be Mean Mother asking Child to please clean her room. Hilarity is sure to ensue. If you cannot make it to that performance, please leave your tips in the jar near the door on your way out!
