Marsha had a big problem. She could not match her socks. She could tell the difference between one color sock and the next. She noticed the slightest differences in pattern. Some were striped. Some were argyle. Yes, Marsha knew all of that. Her trouble lay in choosing. Her trouble was deciding which sock she preferred over the other. Each morning, she opened the top drawer of her dresser.
