“Where do all the silent p’s go?”
The Five-Year-Old’s theory: A hobbit, the size of a Five-Year-Old’s foot, is hording the missing socks and silent p’s. One can only assume that he’s using the socks as sleeping bags and snoring with the p’s.
After hearing Daddyo explain to The Five-Year-Old that in words like ‘pneumonia’ and ‘pteranodon’ the ‘p’ is silent:
Mommyo, facetiously: “Where do all the silent p’s go?”
The Five-Year-Old, excitedly: “In front!”
Daddyo, authoritatively: “Wherever my socks went.”
