It is to the delight of mothers across the world the feeling we share when we have completed our laundry and all socks remain joyfully with their companion. We also share the painful woes of how it feels to be left with a basket of socks that are missing their soulmate. SIGH………..
OK, so I might be getting a bit dramatic here but after all I am trying to find a way to make the topic of socks sound interesting!
In my house, this problem is getting seriously ridiculous. I am beginning to like the company LittleMismatched whose whole concept stems from this dilemma. No, they did NOT pay me to write this blog. Perhaps after reading this they will consider to send me some socks to sample!
On the matter of disappearing socks I can understand how the white socks lose their mate. They all look horribly similar. My recent method has been to avoid the purchase of white socks entirely but if I must go there – I try to make sure they have some detail on them to make them unique.
I have a difficult time comprehending where the match to these socks disappear to? How can you lose one of these outlandish numbers????
Even better, the number of mystery socks seem on the rise. I have never seen these socks before in my life yet somehow there they sit in my basket of unmatched socks. I do not think they belong to anyone in my family. I’ve decided it must be from all those events we call parties and sleepovers.
PS. if one of these socks belong to you, send me an email and I will gladly return to it’s rightful owner
