At first, I thought one of my fuzzy, orange socks

disappeared in the dryer, but I could not find it in there. Because
it was my favorite pair, nothing was going to prevent me from
finding that sock. I looked all around my bedroom, under the
bed, on top of the bed, and in my closet, but I still could not find
it. I did not know that I would discover the answer just as I gave
up my search. As I sat down on the couch in the family room, my
Dad was reclining on his chair. I laughed when I saw that one of
his feet was orange and the other blue! I forgot that he was
color-blind. Next time he does laundry I will have to supervise
him while he folds the socks so that he does not accidentally take
one of mine.
