Hippie Child got to wear the socks, which was a bit unfair because Princess Child had been the one searching for them (and had managed to find three) but Hippie Child gets more detentions for things like wrong socks and has been the one who has gone with “the note” before, so I let her wear the socks. This is the kind of judicial decision making you have to engage in when you become a mother.

It is bizarre. I’m with you, I’ve put in pairs and I swear I’ve ended up with singles. I don’t know how many pairs you got to buy to get through even a term! Pleased to know I’m not alone in this suffering.

I really do. I have a basket that I use to keep all the odd socks in while its partner is making its way through the wash but I’ve noticed more and more that many socks don’t make it. Do socks have tendencies to roam independently of the other? Decide they need space? Time to ‘think’ before returning home? Is this trend of separating socks an analogy for something? I’m sick and tired of spending money buying more socks!!

Clearly I understand your pain, Janine. *ahem* Possibly a little too well, lol.

This is the great mystery. I bought about four or five pairs of the sports socks – we are down to three individual socks.

I’m tempted, really tempted.

Oh yes if you’ve been in the Air Force in particular you would certainly be able to relate. I can’t remember enlisting but it seems like we may have done!

It’s nice to know that all over the WORLD we are having the same conversations with our children.
