Power Struggle (Socks CCCLVI)

"Well, one day the man took me out side, put me in a large plastic barrel, and shut the lid. It was dark, and soon the lid opened. The woman looked in, pulled me out, and put a small bag in. Then she said some words that I didn't hear very often. She carried me back inside, putting me in with the pans. She took me out one day, and called the man some names before putting me back with the pans. Yesterday the man put me in the car, I stayed there overnight. This morning he brought me here."
