Socks
That's right...socks! Seriously, what it is about little boys and the all elusive sock? It's as though socks are terrified of their owners, if said owners possess boy anatomy.
Socks and their disappearances qualify under all three subcategories of this page: Fascinating finds (although rare), Incredible Occurrences, and Trivial Trivia.
You see, there is apparently a one mile radius around my house that is more powerful than the Bermuda triangle when it comes to the disappearance of small athletic socks, particularly the black variety.
Without fail, my 11 year old is forever hunting the premises for this endangered species known to mothers everywhere as "The Missing Sock."
Regardless of the frequency of restocking, they are never in an actual drawer to be worn on demand.
However, they ARE often located at varied intervals in locations including, but not limited to:
the sofa
under the bed
the closet floor
under the bed
the ceiling fan
the lounge chair
the entertainment armoire
the kitchen drawer
the back patio
the trampoline
shrubs
car
trunk of the car
dash of the car
console of the car
between the sheets
behind the refrigerator
in the bathtub
in the dog's food bowl
in the doghouse
in the street
and my personal favorite...randomly scattered across the lawn (if only they were easier to actually grow)
Seriously...these socks MUST be tamed, and soon! Does anyone have the number of an established sock trainer? I'm desperate.
Well,When you figure out where these said socks to, please let me know..... cause they do not stop running just cause the boys get older... john is 18 and Allen is 21
