Where Are Your Socks?
The other day my daughter was searching through the dryer for socks and couldn’t find a match for the one she wanted. “I’ll look in the Sock Finder,” she said. Apparently that’s what she’s dubbed the little plastic box where I keep lonely socks until I finally have the stomach to toss them out. (Because the day after you do, some sweet faced child shows up with the match that he found in the Lego box.)
I know a lot of people have a place for single socks, but I didn’t realize some people actually abandon the whole matching process altogether, opting instead for a big ole basket-o-socks. I’m not sure my laundry room is large enough for that. Is it that hard to match socks? Maybe other families have more socks than we do.
What’s your sock issue?

Wayne and I match up socks, but for Mason’s little socks, I throw them into a plastic bin in his armoire.
However, I find it very frustrating digging around in that bin for matching socks, so I will probably be changing that soon.
My mother-in-law lives in our downstairs suite and I swear that socks go into the washer, dryer and straight into her place, only to reappear months later.
I have no idea why and it drives me crazy. No one in the house has a complete pair of socks.
