To sign *drawer*, form both hands into 'S' handshapes, as if you are grasping the handles of a drawer. Start with your hands extended slightly in front of your body, palms facing up. Pull both hands back towards your torso, mimicking the action of pulling a drawer open.
Sign 'fork', then indicate the location by signing 'top' followed by the sign for 'drawer'.
Sign 'drawer', and then reverse the motion by pushing your 'S' hands forward to visually show the drawer closing.
Point to the specific location, sign 'drawer', and then sign 'sock' to establish where the items are kept.
