It was just a small load of personal items, so I wondered "How in the world could I lose just ONE sock?" I decided to retrace my steps back to the basement.
I found not just one of my husband's socks, but two! I never dreamed that I could be the cause of the sock problem. I was certain these missing socks disappeared into the lining of the washer or were absorbed into the flooring of my teen-age sons room! (Can you find the seven socks, some already mate-less?)
So I did what any other good wife would do. I kept the one sock to match it up and then added the other to the bin of "SOCKS WITHOUT MATES".
Can you believe we have this many socks without mates? You'd think there was a sign on the laundry room door saying "NO MATING ALLOWED!"
Even worse- when they mate and the offspring resemble socks you have never seen before and would swear that you NEVER purchased. lol
ReplyDeleteHappens all the time! Love your little story. Praying for Ken, you and your family, too! ♥
ReplyDeleteI also have this phenomena in my home, and I live alone! Right now I have 4 mateless socks. Usually what happens is that eventually I will find the mate tucked inside a towel or sheet. Sometimes it shows up at the bottom of the sock drawer, sometimes dragged into the darkness under the bed by a cat. I think they actually like to play tricks on me!
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle over this post...I really think my washer eats socks...I have a jar in my laundry room for "Lost Socks"....Sending thoughts and prayers for Ken!!...
ReplyDeleteOh how funny! Love your sense of humor! I did the same thing last night...once again I have a mate less sock too. Where do they go or are they gone before they're put in the washer? Lol
ReplyDeleteI came over from Diana,s blog Nana takes a Break! My prayers are with you and your husband during this difficult time!
Blessings,
