when i was little, my mom always bought me those cool colored socks. i was so excited to wear my new purple ones one day, so i put them on right away. that night, when i took the socks off my feet, i noticed that my feet were all purple. i was terrified that soon i would turn all purple too, like the girl in 'charlie and the chocolate factory'. it was SO scary
