Nothing frustrates me more than losing those damn socks in the laundry. What makes it even worse is that I’ve lost two different colors of my son’s different Nike Elite socks that cost $14 a pair. I’ve searched for the last week and have yet to find them. They had better show up inside a pair of shorts or a shirt or I’m going to blow a gasket!
Since I’m on the sock subject, my son had an early game the other day and you know, at times, mom forgets to throw the load of laundry in the dryer after the washer finishes at midnight. Could it be that I was exhausted and actually fell asleep?
Not to fear, mom is here!
The redneck clothes dryer on the dash of the car once again came through with flying colors en route to the game. My son, mortified after a few thumbs up from passing cars, laid down in the back seat and refused to get up. BUT, who had dry socks for his game!

LOL at the redneck clothes dryer. Tell your son it could’ve been worse: you could’ve hung them out the windows to flap dry as you drove him to the game!
My mom always dealt with the disappearing sock syndrome by safety pinning pairs together as she put them in the washing machine. I’m too easily distracte… OH LOOK, A SQUIRREL! Wait, where was I? Oh yeah: stick all of the socks in a pillow case and knot it shut before throwing it in the wash. You can even throw them in the dryer the same way. If they disappear after that, then you know your dryer is haunted.
