An invitation...but, there's a stipulation...can you contribute?

Question:National Sock Day
Years ago, when the world was young. And it was a hummer summer. Five boys, all teens , all dressed in genes (yes, it’s intended) Spent the months with us. Loads of laundry, tons I’d say Invaded my laundry room...Every day! The problem here, m’ dear Was the socks. They multiplied at night (I swear!)
Aromas (dainty?) Filled the air. Odd ones, (oh mercy) by the score, eEnded up on the laundry room floor. (I’d gather them up…securely tie the lots together.) And wondering whether and what to do…With the sock overage! But nothing new came to mind. I pondered, many a weary hour Whilst trying to sleep in my sock filled bower. The answer appeared! Hip, hip…hurrah!
National Sock Day Would be anytime I wished. I spread the news. I dished up cake and ice cream cold, Invited all to choose! The laughs were many, But choose they did! And matched them up that day! (Well, maybe not quite…) It was a sight, to spot two socks With tops of different hues. But wore them, they did!

I shall bring my stack of 1/2 pair socks. My washing machine eats the other 1/2.

i dont really understand what happens on national sock day...

I got rid of all my odd socks when I moved a year ago, and have not lost a single one since! (Yes, that IS amazing, isn't it?) So I cannot contribute.

But after you have your party, and there are still a bunch of unmatched ones left over, make sock puppets to take home as souvenirs of the party!

I shall bring my whole batch of mismatched socks, and my "Better than Sex" Chocolate Cake. Name a date, my lady.

:O( Sadly for you, I match all my socks and have no odds to contribute, sorry. Perhaps I am too well organized! :O))))

I know there's a place online that deals with SHOES. There are people whose feet are two different sizes. It's really difficult to have to purchase 2 pairs of shoes/footwear JUST to get a PAIR for your feet. Some lady had a brilliant idea, and started a "shoe exchange" site online, so that people could list the "odd" shoes for others. Sort of an online mix/match! Clever, uh?

As for socks, however, they go into the garbage cuz they're full of holes or the elastic is worn out.

Have an "artsy" day!

Back in 1947, out in Fayid, Egypt. I never ever changed my socks for well over a month. When it was time for them to be washed I just said "Quick March" and off they would go to the wash house, kicking up sand as they went. Being military socks they were alway a perfect match.

As a mom of 3 boys, we had the same problem with tube sox. My guys weren't proud and didn't mind wearing them to school with different colored stripes on top. After all, their pant legs covered the sock tops. LOL, I just hope they weren't ridiculed too badly in gym class. ;-)

Can You Use hangers?

I'd love to come and join the fun
But spring cleaning time, I have a ton.
Now hangers have a nasty habit
They multiply like a rabbit.
If you close the closet door
Next week you have a dozen more.
