Unsolved Mystery: The Case of the Missing Socks

Friday was a good day. However, right when it was time to leave, a mom came in to get her son, and we couldn't find his socks. They weren't in his shoes, like everyone else's. They weren't in his cubby or anyone else's cubby. We tore the room apart looking for them, even looking in the bathroom and closet!

I asked him if he threw them in the trash, he did not. I continued to look all over the place for his socks. I was beginning to doubt that he was wearing any when he came, but his mom swore he was. I finally asked him if he ate them. He looked at me, bewilderedly and told me that he did not, and why would he eat his socks? I didn't know, but I couldn't find them anywhere!

They had an appointment to get to, so they had to leave without them. I still looked around for the socks, to no avail. I was telling one of the other teachers about it, she told me that things will disappear and then reappear in a week or two. I hope so, because this has me really baffled!
