Abstract

My husband wanders into the kitchen. "Notice anything?" he asks. I glance up from the myriad of morning chores I am multi-tasking. He is dressed for work. Pants belted. Fly zippered. Dress shirt buttoned. Hair combed. Nothing seems amiss. Nothing pops out, screaming for attention. "Not a thing," I say. He humps. "What about my socks?" My eyes travel to the floor. His left big toe is poking through a practically new black dress sock.
