Help Mommy Find Her Sock

"Morning." Nick told Jackie as they lay next to each other early one morning.

"Morning." She replied as she kicked the covers off her legs and then swung her legs over the side of the bed so she could get up and use the bathroom.

She was dismayed to realize that one of her socks was missing.

She often slept in socks, Nick teased her about that but she reminded him that she practically grew up in the tundra and socks really helped keep warm. Even now that she lived in Vegas she just felt more comfortable when she had socks on.

The only problem was that they would often slide off her feet in the middle of the night and get tangled up in the covers.

She now made a game of it with the kids, and they loved it.

They would each crawl under the covers to search for the missing sock and whoever found the sock was the winner. She pulled off her other sock and then walked to the bathroom, she decided she'd wait to try to find the sock until the kids got up so they could play the sock game.

About an hour later the kids woke up.

"Guys, mommy lost her sock, who wants to help her find it?" She asked them.

"Me."

All of them cheered excitedly except for the babies who were still sleeping and Hundley who was happily sitting on the floor grinning at all of her brothers and sisters.

The kids sat in a line on the bed grinning, waiting for the game to begin.

"On your marks, get set, go." Jackie told them.

The kids dove under the covers, giggling hysterically.

"Did anybody find it?" Jackie asked as she ducked her head under the covers.

"No." They said as they shook their heads.

"Keep looking." Jackie told them.

They all tried again.

"Nobody found it?" Jackie asked a few minutes later.

"No." They all said again, sounding perplexed.

"That's weird." Jackie said.

She pulled the covers off the bed and the kids were right, the sock was nowhere to be found.

Jackie was confused, the sock was simply gone.

"Hundy got it." Johnna exclaimed as she pointed at Hundley on the floor.

Jackie looked over and sure enough the sweet toddler had the sock in her hand, grinning like mad as if she'd found important treasure.

Jackie looked at her and laughed.

"The sock must have fallen on the floor in the middle of the night." She told Nick.

He laughed and shook his head in agreement.

Hundley won the sock game and she thought she was extremely clever doing so!

The End!
