"I found another sock for the dirty clothes," Ashley sighed.

Her face disclosed mingled feelings of exasperation, amusement and disgust.

"Okay," I said, going to retrieve it so I could put it in the laundry.

As I turned to leave the room with the dirty sock in hand, Ashley said,

"I think we need to get Ethan some bookmarks."

It took me a moment to put it all together.  Oh!  That's why you're sitting there holding one of his books.

I wonder if the library will issue a fine when the book comes back smelling like a foot.
