sock puppet & baby

Sitting next to my mother on a bench against a wall, I held a baby of indeterminate gender in my arms. The baby was wrapped in a soft blanket - a bundle. I reached into a bag and found a dark blue sock from which I created a sock puppet that played with the baby causing it to laugh and gurgle. The baby was so delighted with the sock puppet that its little arms and legs thrashed about. I bumped my mother a few times, rocked by the happy movement of the baby. The plain blue sock grew button eyes and a red mouth, becoming much more puppet-like. The baby was enthralled.
