Slippery Socks

by Toni Herrbach

I know I am not the only one who has a sock problem. My single sock box has gone wild. We have so many single socks I cannot even close the sock box. (This is sounding like a Dr. Suess book)

I decided this weekend I needed to tackle the sock box. I knew there had to be some pairs in there somewhere so I started to search my sock box.

After searching, and doing a load of laundry I found 14 pairs of socks!

And although now I can close my sock box, I still prefer to wear flip flops….

or should I say Birkenstocks…. 🙂

    We have a socks bag. It is always full. I threaten to throw them away when it gets so full. :-p

    Socks do have a way of disappearing. I would rather wear my slip on shoes, anyway!

    I am glad I am not the only person who has a “sock box’ or in my case basket. This is a job I have NEVER liked LOL but you are right. I did the same thing and found many socks LOL 🙂

    Now that my hubby and both teen boys wear the same size socks I just buy loads and loads of black socks in the same size and style and then all they have to do is grab two socks and they will have a pair!

    The dreaded sock matching! LOL! I wonder where all those other socks go. I think they are playing hide-and-go-seek and snickering. 😀 Great tackle!!

    LOL, It feels funny to wear socks when it is still hot outdoors. Great tackle.

    Ha! Good tackle — and Dr. Seuss story. I might need to start a socks box myself.

    We have a single sox laundry hamper and I counted 55 pairs last time I matched it. I do it every 2 months or so. I have no idea how it gets so bad, but I think the solution is to stop buying socks that are “different” (colour, design, whatever) and just have them all THE SAME per kid. (we have 6).
