Girls Write Out
Wednesday, November 04, 2009

I have a complete and utter loathing of socks. I hate them. They're the bane of my existence because 1. there are never enough and 2. there are always too many.

For some reason, my children cannot seem to get the concept that socks come in pairs, and should therefore be put into the laundry basket in pairs. No. Why not take one off at the dinner table and the other in the car? That makes sense. I know that socks disappear in the laundry room, but my family's disappear before that. It doesn't matter if I buy them all the same socks, if I put all the whites together, it simply doesn't matter. The socks outsmart me.

Nowhere is this more evident than on Soccer Saturday when three children need a pair of matching soccer socks. This is precise. Green uniform = green socks. So why?? WHY? Every Saturday morning has one kid discovered that his nasty, filthy soccer socks from last Saturday's game is in the bottom of his soccer bag. ICK!

So I keep a basket of socks by the door. Tacky. Ugly. But useful. It doesn't solve my problems, but it makes life that much more functional. I think I'm going to just abandon my laundry room and start going back to the laundromat. Maybe then, socks will not outsmart me.
