>> IT'S THE SEASON OF OUTERWEAR ORPHANS.
AFTER THIS LONG, LONG, LONG WINTER -- DID I SAY IT'S BEEN A MIGHTY LONG WINTER?
THERE ARE SO MANY SINGLES THAT USED TO BE DOUBLES.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR HOUSE, MOMS AND DADS, BUT AT THE BRUNDIDGES' EVERY MORNING IT'S, I LOST ONE OF MY WARM SOCKS, I CAN'T FIND THE BOTTOM OF MY SNOW SUIT.
MOM, HAVE YOU SEEN MY GOOD MITTENS?
SEEMS IKE I HAVE A BUILT-IN TRACKING DEVICE THAT WAS ACTIVATED THE DAY I GAVE BIRTH TO THESE BRUNDIDGE BABIES IN.
OUR HOUSE WE HAVE SO MANY SINGLE GLOVES I'M THINKING ABOUT OPENING A STORE.
IT'S MOSTLY KIDS WHO DROP OR FORGET OR MISPLACE COLD WEATHER STUFF.
BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT, I HAVE A FEW OF THESE INCIDENTS MYSELF.
JUST ASK MY NEIGHBORS ABOUT THE TIME I WAS SHOVELING WEARING ONE MITTEN AND ONE OVEN MITT.
HEY, IT KEEPS YOUR HANDS WARM WHEN YOU'RE OUT IN THAT DRIVEWAY.
AGAIN, I KNOW IT'S HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF STUFF FOR THE 8, 9, 10 MONTHS OF WINTER WE'RE STILL DIGGING OUT OF, BUT I WASN'T PREPARED FOR WHAT I SAW WHEN I SWUNG BY THE LOST AND FOUND AT MY KID'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
BOOTS!
YES, HONEY.
BOOTS.
JUST WHO ARE THESE KIDS WHO WHO SHOW UP AT THEIR HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH STOCKING FEET?
EVEN MORE MYSTIFYING WAS THE NUMBER OF SINGLE BOOTS.
SAD, LONELY SOLITARY LOST BOOTS SITTING ON THE SHELF LIKE A FOOTWEAR SINGLES BAR.
WHERE'S THE MATCH.COM FOR BOOTS?
WHO WALKED HOME WITH ONE FOOT ALL SNUG AND COVERED AND THE OTHER BARE-TOED OUT?
>> HEY, MOM, I FOUND MY BOOT!
>> YEAH, BABY, BUT YOU FORGOT YOUR HAT.
HOLD ON, LET ME GET THAT FOR YOU.
SEE?
I CAN'T WAIT, LORD HAVE MERCY, UNTIL I HAVE TO KEEP UP
