My grandson asked why I always put his stuffed bear in the dryer but hang his socks on the line

I explained that Mr. Snuggles has been through a lot — naptime tears, bedtime negotiations, that incident with the spaghetti. He's earned the warm tumble and the lavender dryer sheet.

The socks? Those little rascals go missing every other week. They can hang outside and think about loyalty.

Punchline

Besides, sunshine builds character. Mr. Snuggles already has plenty.
