So did you put on your nightgown and socks and run through the sprinklers? I could tell Gaugie doesn't have kids or he'd understand about SOCKS and why his mother appeared neurotic about them.
WHite socks are the thorn in the maternal crown, the cross we bear to the laundry room, the Orc we face alone, armed with only a box of Tide. Did kids wear them thirty years ago? My memory is of little dark socks on my brother's skinny legs.
With three guys in the house, we probably own 100 pairs of white socks. They are classified by whiteness levels. I keep a basket of the really gross ones in a closet and they're supposed to wear those for baseball practice. NOT the brand-new 10.00 a pair Nikes. The problem is that you HAVE to wear the Nikes to practice to be cool, so no one wears the basket socks.
Most all of the socks we own are in that basket.
So every morning I hear, "Mooooommmmmm--I don't have any socccccccks."
Underwear is a different matter. Boys can survive with one pair of underwear for weeks. I get very suspicious when I do the weekly laundry and only one pair of underwear shows up.

SPeaking of underwear--I am off to basketball camp to watch Ammo play tonight. He comes home tomorrow---probably with underwear still in the package and no clean Nike socks.
