I’m confused by the change in perspective between the first paragraph and the rest of the story. You seem to start out in third-person and then switch to first. Was that deliberate?

“. . . July 20, 2088 suddenly became my “take the baby to work day.”

I added the word “my” to place a possessive on the first paragraph which seems to be where the perspective confusion is.

Does that help?

Love it! It explains many of the worlds mysterious appearances and disappearances of clothing items. I think the baby had my socks from my last load of laundry too. Should get that baby into volleyball serving!

Still no day care in 2088? And you would think that they could fix a broken ankle in about 5 minutes.

I am with Tina, I want all my socks back!
