The computer

Dad, do I have any clean white socks?
If you don't have any in your drawer, then no. But we're going to do laundry this morning, so you'll have some in a couple hours.
Well, I can't go with you. Maybe Daisy can go with you but I've got a lot of work to do. I'm too busy.
What kind of work do you have to do?
On the computer mostly.
What are you doing on the computer.

You can't tell me what kind of work it is?
It's an e-mail. A really long one.
