still 100%

Imagine my surprise when, approximately 6 loads of laundry ago, out came not one, not two, but three single socks missing their friends. For a mom with a 100% record of no lost socks, I was unnerved. Three in one load? Was this karma getting me for my perfect record, since it's impossible for one to have a baby and never lose a sock?

Well, as of today, all three now have friends again. In summary:
  • One was still dirty, in the bottom of the hamper under the hamper's cloth lining. Check!
  • One was stuck to the Velcro on a folded and put-away bib. Check!
  • One was wrapped inside the corner of a crib sheet, which had also been folded and put away. Check!
I feel great. And now that little Wesley's feet are bigger, his socks seldom fall of in transit.

Take that, missing sock Gods! I don't need to bow to you! I'm still winning!

(Ah, maybe I should tone the arrogance down a notch, just to be safe. I know my perfect record is a matter of luck as well as excellent sock-sleuthing skills. It's not just me.)

    Beware of the sock-eating washing machines and dryers!

    I have disassembled old washers and found socks within the "guts" of those machines .... forever changing my attitude about the final whereabouts of those missing items .... LOL

    Wahoo! 100% is amazing. I can't tell you how many times I have bought myself new socks, maybe a 6 pair or so, and within two months or so I'm down to 4 pairs. Where do they go?

    You are a super sleuth - socks have a magic way of whisking themselves under the hampers, in sheet corners and attached to random objects. One must always be on the watch!
