Samantha’s socks kept disappearing. Her sock drawer contained nineteen odd socks of various lengths, shapes and colors. Wearing her last pair, Samantha went into her mother’s room and said, “I need some new socks. This is the only pair I have left.”

Samantha’s mother replied, “I’m not buying you any more socks. I’ve gotten you new ones four times this year. You just keep losing them.”

“I don’t lose my socks. They disappear.”

“Socks don’t just disappear,” her mom quipped.

Frustrated, Samantha said, “I’m telling you, I’m not losing them. Maybe someone is taking them.”

Not looking up from her knitting, Samantha’s mother stated firmly, “Now don’t be foolish. No one is stealing them. I’m sure they’re in your room somewhere. Go look in your drawers, closet, and under and behind your bed.”
