At Least She's Not Afraid to Try New Things

We are rushing around getting ready to leave for school one morning late last week, when Za Boo (ready with her shoes and socks on, schoolbag and lunch box in hand, and ready to go) says, "Mama, this morning when I went to get my socks out, there was a really weird pair of socks in my drawer that I've never seen before."
I (in the midst of rushing around trying to be sure that Ender and Monkey Boy got out the door on time, along with trying to find my own shoes and not forget any of the items I needed to take out the door with me that day) replied, "Oh, well, I don't know anything about a weird pair of socks, but just put them in the basket in my room, and I will figure out what to do with them later."
At which point she replied, in complete and total seriousness, but with a cheery lift to her voice, "Oh no, it's okay. I'm wearing them."
