There!

Okay, sock, let’s go!

The gate’s locked again.

That’s an easy one.

Use your nose Ellie Belly.

Push up.

Click.

Ellie Belly’s the smartest girl.

Quiet steps.

Like last time.

Forever Dad’s not in the kitchen.

Sniff, scan, sniff, scan.

There he is, on the couch!

Trot, trot, trot.

“Jesus, Ellie! You scared me.”

Ellie’s not scary.

“It’s two a.m. How did you get in?”

You left the door open, Forever Dad.

Too easy for Ellie Belly.

Here.

“Another sock?”

This is the bestest sock.

“Does your mom know you’re stealing all her socks?”

Silly Forever Dad.

These are Ellie Belly’s socks.

“Well, you might as well hang out.”

Pat, pat.

“You can sit on the couch.”

Thanks, Forever Dad!

Let me get riiiiight next to you.
