Son:You need to get me more socks
Me:You’ve got loads of socks
Son: But they’re all odd ones
Me: That’s because you never pair them up
Let’s see
If we put all these together.....
you have 26 pairs of socks...
and then there's 6 grey pairs
and wait a moment, from various corners of your room we can make up another 7 pairs
and that not counting a couple of pairs which are a bit small
And there’s 20 odd ones left over
Though, as you say some of them would 'look OK in shoes'
Oh, and the odd ones you're wearing would match with at least one of the odd remaining socks.
I make that 40 pairs of wearable socks, a couple to re-cycle and 20 singles pending a decision.
Not a strong case for MORE socks!

That sock thief has a lot to answer for, though. in our house, the sock thief is our dog - he is always stealing used socks to cuddle. he doesn't shred them. He just smells them!
Very funny! More socks because he can't be bothered pairing them? I think not!
jajajaja!
Maybe we could merge our sock mountains. Actually, they ARE pretty merged right now!

ROTFL At least it's happening at your place, not mine!
So that's it! Now I know where the socks which go missing in the dryer are. Your son has them all!
and what about the 104 I just found in the duvet cover?? Kids, eh, so fussy. A blue sock, a red sock, who cares!
Hi Hilary, We certainly seem to have socks I never bought...we should set up an online identity parade for alien socks. Millions of pairs could be reunited.
I've seen him select socks on the basis of sharing the same 'thickness' nothing else seemed to matter. We don't have any of those pair-your-socks-before-you-wash-them devices in our house!
You nearly lost me, even though I'm an expert at such things!
