Joseph’s burnt up sock

When we got home from Tae Kwon Do, Ron asked me if I smelled anything funny. I didn’t. So, he asked me to go to Joseph’s room and tell him if I did.

So, I went up and I could have sworn something was burning!

Ron told me that he smelled it and made his way to Joseph’s room and inside his touch lamp, which was on, there was a sock, smoldering away!

Ok… first, the lamp shouldn’t have been on… Joseph has a bad habit of leaving lights on when not in the room. Usually he has to pay us $.25 each time we catch it.

Secondly, why was there a sock inside the lamp?

Luckily, no damage was done, except to the sock…
