Sock Monkey Sock Medical Notes

Friday, January 8th, 2010
My Awesome Niece got sock monkey socks for Christmas.  I was visiting while she was out and saw one of the socks laid aside with the ear next to it.  I sewed it on quick and left her this note, because she, too, has a strange sense of humor.  I told her Mama, “I wonder how many times I think I am hilarious, when in reality, I am just strange.”
