When my socks started disappearing, I thought it was just something that happens at times because they do get devoured by the dryer every now and then.<\/p>\n

But I found it strange since only one sock from several pairs suddenly vanished.<\/p>\n

I am a single dad to my son Dylan, and we don\u2019t really have visitors that often, so I thought, could it be my son who \u201csteals\u201d my socks? But then again, why would he need just one from a pair.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Something wasn\u2019t adding up, and no matter how crazy it sounds, I decided to install the old nanny cam in the laundry room and \u201ccatch\u201d the culprit.<\/p>\n

The following day, as I was having my morning coffee while going through the footage, I almost spilled it over the computer.<\/p>\n

It showed Dylan sneaking into the laundry room and carefully picking a sock from the newest pair I had.<\/p>\n

He stuck the sock inside his school beg, put his coat on, and walked through the door.<\/p>\n

Curious about what he was doing with my socks, I decided to follow after him.<\/h2>\n

Soon enough, I found him going towards a street I never drove through. It led to a poor neighborhood with old and abandoned houses.<\/p>\n

Then, he stood in front of one of the houses and knocked on the door, looking as though he had done that a million times before.<\/p>\n

I made sure I stayed out of sight, but just as I heard Dylan telling the old man in a wheelchair who answered the door that he got some new fancy socks for him, I made a sound and both Dylan and the man turned towards me.<\/p>\n

\u201cDad, I can explain,\u201d Dylan said, worried that I would tell him off.<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t my attention. I just wanted to know what was going on.<\/p>\n

The old man approached closer and said, \u201cYou must be Dennis. Your son is making sure my leg stays warm during the cold days.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was then that I realized the man only had one leg.<\/h2>\n

He used to serve in the Navy and once his children moved to other countries, he was all by himself.<\/p>\n

But Dylan, who met him by chance one day while walking to school, made him company every now and then.<\/p>\n

\u201cDad, are you mad?\u201d Dylan asked. I said I wasn\u2019t. In fact, I was proud of my son\u2019s heart of gold.<\/p>\n
