class of 09

This may look like a mere casual gathering of socks to you, but don't be fooled. These socks are experiencing a "Class Reunion". They've been separated for a while, and are just now joyfully getting to know one another again.

One thing we have more of in this house than any other thing is: socks. It has become apparent lately that putting socks in a drawer is so last year. The new way to deal with socks is to flip one off your foot onto the floor of the family room, and then walk to another room and flip the second sock off onto that floor.

If you don't understand this method, come to our house and take a casual walk around. You will see single stranded socks on the bathroom floor, under the piano, under the kitchen table, next to the fridge, on the family room floor, in the office, under ALL the beds, in the closets (not IN the hampers, but NEXT to them), in the mud room and occasionally if all the snow is melted, in the driveway. Sometimes they can even be found next door.

I suggest you try this at home, trust me, your mother will love it. Love it! Doing the laundry each week is much more fulfilling if she gets to walk around the house collecting all the stray socks. Then after the usual 5-8 loads, it's really fun for her to try and find matches to all the socks. Weekly sharpening of her matching skills is essential to her self worth.

Although, after years of this practice, your mother may be a little grumpy at the sight of all the stray single sock_s. Tell her to take a small bucket and put it into the laundry room. After each weeks laundry session she can joyfully scoop up all the _stray single socks and put them into the bucket, to be ignored. Then once a month she can dump out the bucket and WHA-LAH, she will find that there are approximately 21 stray single socks that have miraculously found their partners, producing 21 pairs of socks that can then be taken to a drawer, or thrown on the floor next to the drawer. Whatever floats your boat.

21 pairs of socks=a sock reunion=one happy mother.
