The Sock Drawer That Sorted Out the DayA child pairs socks while remembering the day, and each matched pair helps one jumbled feeling settle.
1. At bedtime, Mina emptied the sock drawer. She wanted it shut before her story began.
2. The socks were jumbled. So was Mina's day. She made four little piles and began with the yellow stripes.
3. At breakfast, Mina had knocked over the jam. She paired the yellow stripes, and the sticky morning feeling loosened.
4. At school, Mina had rubbed out the wrong answer until the paper tore. She paired the green socks, and the prickly mistake grew quiet.
5. At lunch, Mina had snapped at Jo and wished she could pull the words back. She paired the moon socks, and the heavy words made room for an apology.
6. On the way home, rain had soaked Mina's sleeves. Then cocoa and a dry towel were waiting. She paired the star socks, and the warm part of the day glowed.
7. Only one sock was left. Mina searched under the bed and found it hiding beside the basket. It had been waiting for the part she nearly forgot.
8. The last pair remembered Mina helping carry the groceries inside. She matched it, and the lonely little feeling found its place.
9. Mina paired the socks while remembering the day. Each matched pair helped one jumbled feeling settle. Then the drawer clicked shut, and Mina opened her story.
