[ WP ] : The plot twist is `` his/her socks were tattoos all along ''

`` Mark,'' said Joseph, after Mark walked into the kitchen and stared at him. `` You ca n't have my corndogs, you'll have to go out and buy more–'' 
 
 `` That's not what I was going to talk to you about.'' 
 
 `` Oh.'' 
 
 Mark stared at him and sighed deeply. 
 
 Joseph's eyes widened. *'' Oh,'' * he said. `` Oh, crap...'' 
 
 `` You're so innocent, Joseph. So happy, so juvenile.'' 
 
 `` Here we go.'' 
 
 `` Do n't ever lose your innocence. It makes you... you.'' 
 
 `` So I guess you are n't innocent for some reason?'' 
 
 `` I do n't want to talk about it.'' 
 
 `` Cool. Do you want a corndog then?'' 
 
 `` Fine, if you're gon na pester me about it.'' He laughed softly. `` I never could say no to you.'' 
 
 `` That... just... sounds so *weird*...'' 
 
 `` You know Marissa. We had a bad breakup recently.'' 
 
 `` As you keep telling me.'' 
 
 `` But I never told you *why* we broke up.'' 
 
 `` You did, actually. Several different versions.'' 
 
 `` I do n't even know where to start. I guess when we met. Second grade–'' 
 
 `` Skip ahead. I have things to do.'' 
 
 `` Well, our entire relationship, she would never take her socks off. Ever. We would be inside, or she would be about to get into the shower, and I would say,'Do n't you think you should take your socks off?' and she would just laugh. It started as a cute quirk, but... it just escalated. She would never take her socks off, ever. She would even wear socks over her socks when she wore shoes and stuff. And every time I said anything about her socks, she would just laugh. She would even tell people it was'our inside joke.' Like, when we first started dating...'' 
 
 `` Is this going to take long?'' 
 
 `` I dunno I have tons of examples. She would never take her socks off.'' 
 
 `` Just skip them.'' 
 
 `` Well, it turned out that her socks were tattoos all along. Now, you know as well as anyone that I think tattoos are immoral.'' 
 
 `` I thought you had a gang tattoo on your b–'' 
 
 `` Dark time in my life, dark time.''
