Prefixes

Find the five prefixes in the text below. 

At first, I thought one of my fuzzy, orange socks disappeared in the dryer, but I could not find it in there. Because it was my favorite pair, nothing was going to stop me from finding that sock. I looked all around my bedroom, under the bed, on top of the bed, and in my closet, but I still could not find it. I even rechecked the dryer! I did not know that I would discover the answer just as I gave up my search. 

As I sat down on the couch in the family room, my Dad was impatiently waiting for me to start a movie. I laughed when I saw that one of his feet was orange and the other blue! I forgot that he was colour-blind. Next time he does laundry I will have to supervise him while he folds the socks so that he does not accidentally mismatch the socks. He was unknowingly wearing one of my socks!
