The Missing Sock!?!

Ok…each time before I place my used socks into the laundry basket, I always turn them inside of each other (forming a little “sock ball”) so that they stay as one pair.

But somehow, between the time of washing and drying my clothes…one pair will often become a single.

Am I going insane? Because I can see that they are definately in pairs before I place them in the washer. But when the dryer cycle is complete…one ends up missing.

WHERE THE HELL DID IT GO????

(and please don’t tell me that it’s stuck to another article of clothing; or that I accidentally dropped it on the floor; or that it‘s stuck to the side of the machine…because I’ve checked, time and time again…and it’s not there)

It’s like either the washer or dryer suddenly got hungry and decided to ingest one!

It just vanished into thin air….

(one of the 7 wonders of the world, I guess)

Personally…I think it’s a case of UFO abduction.

I think extraterrestrials are doing some freakish DNA testing. And what better way, than to abduct a single sock (which contains a million particles of sweat and skin flakes) to do a smear test.

It’s the perfect article of human clothing.

They’re probably making little “clones” of me on some distant planet as we speak.

(like UR-ANUS)

But the sad part, is that now I have a drawer filled with single socks.

(it’s like a “Single Socks Club” and they’re patiently waiting to find a mate)

I suppose I could start a new trend in fashion and maybe wear them “odd.”

Hmmm….

Ok…that’s all I wanted to say today.

Bye!


P.S. And guess who did laundry today?
