I think I have those matches at my house.
I don't know either but i used to have basket fulls of them when our kids were growing up. I read a great solution from a family that raised 17 children. Only buy one style and color of sock EVER. Make everyone wear the same socks no matter where they go or what they do.
That is a lot of unmatched socks. I invested in a laundry bag with a zipper for our socks and that helps them not get lost as often.
I think the washer or dryer eat them.
I do! I do! It's because, ahem, the kids don't wear a pair! My kids do this. They get disconnected in the drawer or something and then, because they could care less, they wear a mis match. Maybe??
PS: Growing up, we used to be responsible for pinning our socks together with a safety pin before tossing them into the hamper. Each person pinned in a different location. I can't tell you the number of times I had sisters try to steal my socks (sisters that didn't pin) and I got to say, "No, look! The pin is here! They are mine!" Maybe your troop is too young though...
We have the same problems at our house too and it just baffles me. Some sock thief must be doing well with all of our left over socks.
I guess I'm used to it. If I ended up with all matched socks after any load of laundry I might die of shock. Won't ever happen.
I went through Jack's sock drawer and came up with a stack of socks that didn't match FROM HIS DRAWER! They had matches when they went into the drawer. How does this happen????
My mom raised 5 girls and she resorted to the sock basket in the laundry room. If you wanted socks, it was community. First come first serve. It worked.
I bet you've had a lot of friends over to visit and they leave with different mismatched socks. It's like that episode of Arthur called "The Great Sock Exchange."
I am pretty sure the orange Hanes sock is Kayden's....if that helps. :)
PS- Your blog is much funnier than mine.
