Whodunit? Dryer suspected in dastardly game of hide-and-seek
After years apart, my winter boot socks finally found each other. This would be fantastic news for my toes if it wasn’t July. Who knows where those thick woolies will wander off to by the time the snow flies again. I wasn’t even sure I still had two boot socks. A few winters ago, I laundered them. I never saw them together again. Every time I thought I’d located the second sock, the first wasn’t where I thought I left it. I began to suspect that there was no second sock, just the first, which roamed freely about the house. I shall be getting married soon, which will help. As soon as she said she does, I can say I do to having someone else to blame. Living solo narrows the field of suspects to a percentage not in my general favor. But I know it’s NOT me. And thanks to the lesson of the laundered socks, I have figured it out: The dryer did it. I know blaming the clothes dryer for footwear vaporization sounds like profiling.
