A Soft Blue Nightcap

I wiggled my plush pot away from the pantry and scooted toward the television stand as the evening settled in. Right beside the low wooden leg lay a clean, rolled-up pair of thick blue winter socks left in a tidy ball. Being an exceptionally brave cactus, I bowed my green stem low and nudged my rounded head straight into the soft ribbed opening! With a slow, determined twist of my neck, the stretchy fabric rolled right over the top of my head like a snug woolen beanie. I stood straight up, waving both curved arms in a happy bedtime sway, proud of my cozy new evening hat!
