Sock Bandit Story


Under the guise of an adorable Reese-Boy lurks a genius of incredible magnitude. A genius so cunning that no one would ever suspect his true mission. TAKING OVER THE WORLD!

One average, ordinary day, Reese-Boy lays motionless, pretending to sleep. Using his Super Duper Listening Device he waits for the right moment to attempt a most daring quest.

Finally, Mom leaves the room! He waits… “Success!” he says to himself as he hears Mom messing with the laundry at the far end of the house. Mentally invoking the theme to ‘Mission Impossible’ Reese-Boy springs into action! Coming to his quarry he whispers, “A single black sock, yes…this will do nicely!” Quickly, silently, with the reflexes of a Ca… Very, Nimble Dog…(that was close!) he snags his prey and makes his way back to the dog bed before anyone notices. Once there he tosses it on the bed and half lays on it to keep it hidden from those silly humans who will, “never notice it was missing”.

Examining his prize Reese-Boy thinks to himself, “With this single black sock, I will finally be able to power my Super Laser of Unbelievably, Remarkable Proportions, (SLURP for short!) taking my first, true step toward TAKING OVER THE WORLD!”

(Note: Few people realize the great power retained by a single sock. The more active the sock wearer is, the more powerful the sock becomes. Thus, dirty socks are the BEST! Reese-Boy is not the first to harness this great power. Ever wonder why you can’t find that sock in the dryer? I’m willing to bet it never made it passed the hamper! BEWARE THE SOCK BANDIT!!)
