What is the deal with single socks? I did the “once a month” gathering and sorting of socks from our laundry today, and as usual, ended up with an amazing number of single socks!! Where do the other ones go? I think it must be like the lost pens… there is a secret mission for all socks to travel to their home planet.

Unexplainable number of single socks












I have a single sock that very closely resembles that stripped one with the blue heart. Perhaps the single socks travel through the washing machine vortex and rehome themselves?
I’m looking for a fluffy pink sock, sized to fit a 4 year old. Let me know if it appears at your place
Sometimes I just give up and wear my mismatched ones..
I’ll look out for the fluffy pink one – I’m sure I’ve seen something fitting that description somewhere!
Yeah, I’ve started to wear non matching socks but of the same colour – but there’s some purist/perfectionist part of me that feels like I’m cheating
The wierd thing is that both my daughters are really picky about this too. I wonder if it’s hereditary.
hmmmm…. i need to tell my mother in law that this phenomenon is also happening somewhere other than our home.
I feel like throwing out the single ones, going to K-mart/Target/Big W and starting again
