They see this as a form of punishment and torture. We have many, many socks (only four people in the household), but we also have children who PURPOSELY DO NOT WEAR MATCHING SOCKS OR TAKE THEM OFF IN DIFFERENT ROOMS OF THE HOUSE! This will change when school arrives, but since they are different genders, matching UNIFORM SOCKS is just as PAINFUL. They are SO SIMILAR and yet different, that it takes twice as long to match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-7062230088764303302010-08-27T16:25:06.088-04:002010-08-27T16:25:06.088-04:00AMEN!AMEN!sivabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07133114040676322027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-28216958749149397932010-08-27T14:27:40.172-04:002010-08-27T14:27:40.172-04:00Yes!

It started with a brand new bag of socks, 10 pairs each per kid... and for some reason, they were no longer found anywhere in the area of our house. I had to yell at my kids to put their socks on with their shoes to be yelled back that their sock drawer was empty and all the laundry had been washed and no socks had been cleaned as far as I knew. Down to my last straw, I took apart my kids rooms looking for the dang socks and got a clue when I found a furry pile of something lurking in the far corner under the beds... Yup, I found the black hole...canadianmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809244546694115921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-3833178028971760872010-08-25T09:05:19.892-04:002010-08-25T09:05:19.892-04:00At least you know that your child is paying attent...At least you know that your child is paying attention in Primary!
