A Grown, Educated Woman's Conversation with Herself

"You have two feet; therefore, you need two socks," she said to herself as she stared at the pile of socks and wondered how to cope with dressing herself. (So she grabbed two pair of socks naturally.) Having put one pair of socks on her feet, she looked down at the other pair of socks. For a few moments she actually wondered what her reason had been for getting the second pair of socks before realizing that she was just a very tired mommy who always grabs everything in pairs now days.Bad enough to have to remind yourself how many feet you have attached to your body; horribly worse to actually get it wrong after having given yourself such a reminder.
