   There’s nothing else like putting on virgin socks.

   Way TMI. That picture won’t get out of my head anytime soon. Anyone have any brain bleach?

   Agnes must know James from “One Big Happy”.
   BTW, I’m assuming that she’s being sarcastic in panel 2.

   Be adventurous Agnes! Wear the socks on the wrong feet.

   Fabric pills are those little round lumpy bumps you get after you wear something a few times. Agnes is glad her new socks are nice and smooth.

    What has been seen can NOT be unseen, even if it’s a mental image.

    Oh, to have received socks!!
    -
    My grandmother gave me a cardboard teddy bear. I didn’t want anything but that was less than nothing.
    -
    Not that I didn’t keep it. I hung it on the wall beside my bed and every day when I woke up I looked at it and said, “Unhuh, a cardboard teddy bear.”
    -
    Since I was going to have it there anyway, I wrote my name on it every year from the second grade through the first year at college. My handwriting never improved but now I know thanks to Grandma Green.
    (I even look like her, but with more hair.)

    Nice story, David. I don’t know much about your grandmother, but I’m guessing that was all she could give and she meant well. What year was it?

    For Agnes, socks or underpants (not both) are all her Grandmother can get for her.

    There are many things we take for granted, isn’t there?

    That is why I work to reevaluate my life in relation to others. It helps with personal perspective.
