The other day, I got really excited about finding some forgotten dress socks in the bottom of my sock drawer.  Exciting for my feet, but not the makings for a very exciting blog post.  Just my luck, some more sock material was in my future.

Today, we took the kids to a modern art museum in Minneapolis.  As we strolled around, my 8-year-old son Ben asked, “Is this art?”  My answer surprised and pleased me, “Yes, think of Modern Art as a puzzle.  It is our job to try and figure out the puzzle.  What is the art trying to tell us?  Plus, sometimes there is more than one right answer.”  This seemed to please Ben.  Good job, dad.

Ben’s question also made me ponder what aspect of “Cookies by Dave” is closest to Modern Art.  Easy answer, the “Where in the World Are [Fill in the Blank’s] Socks” series fits the bill.  Good thing I have fresh material on hand.

On Friday night, one of Ben the Art Critic’s socks was in action in the living room.  Enjoy!

For your added enjoyment, here are the boys in action at the Modern Art museum in a very, very narrow and very, very green hallway.  I’ll have you know that I also was able to fit down the hallway.  Barely.

For the record, very few things raises a dad’s blood pressure like trying to keep track of three young boys in an art museum.  “I sure hope insurance is gonna cover any accidental damage.  No, correction, I pray that insurance will cover any accidental damage.  Hopefully, our ‘Warhol Insurance Rider’ will handle this.”
