We all swear the washing machine ate it, or the dryer ate it. Or the dog ate it. Or our family is just playing a trick on us.
I had to buy The Boy two pairs of special socks for his baseball uniform before the season started. We were maybe a quarter of the way through the season when one disappeared. Now he had one pair that had to be worn to every game.
I searched. I was sure it had gotten caught up in a t-shirt or sweatshirt of his that had been in the same wash load. But I couldn't find it. I looked behind the washer and dryer and everywhere I could think of. Nada.
Over the weekend I pulled a shirt out of my closet. The sock fell out. Did I mention the last game of the season was two nights ago?
The shirt ate the sock, not the washer or dryer. The shirt was the sock eater.
I wonder how many unworn clothes in our closets are harboring missing socks?
Fortunately, they are headed to the play-offs. Maybe he'll still have a chance to wear them after all.

On my dresser i have about 7 socks that don't have a pair. I often wonder what could possibly have happened to the other sock. Sometimes I never find it.
Lmbo apparently you missed my sock stealing ghost post I did a while back. We never find ours. If we do it will without a doubt be weeks after we have tossed it's lonely mate to the side and given up.
We were finding missing socks stuck to the sheets, but the weird thing is, we don't wash the socks with the sheets. So the only other explanation is that the washer sucks the socks in and waits until the sheet-load (pun kinda intended) and spits it back out. Then the sock attaches itself to a sheet and hangs on for dear life, fearing the possibliity of washer suckage happening again.
Am I over-thinking this?
:-P
LOL, yes! and usually it is unworn clothes in my kids' drawers, so even if they wear the clothes and fidn the sock they don't return it to the dept of unmatched socks. Urghle!

Amen to the missing sock debacle.
We have that going on here constantly.
So yes, I blame static cling, not myself. Naturally.
Still, the other day I was putting clothes away and a pair of my underwear was stuck to my son's shirt.
Can. You. Imagine.
He is almost 15. And if he'd gone to school with his mom's panties on him?
I will be much more careful to check clothing in the future. For socks...and other important issues.
:-)
Why did you have to find it right after the season ended? Things always have a way of working out that way,doggone it!
I have a shirt that has been "missing" for ever! It just blows my mind as to where it could be. It's just me and Lil Duck. She doesn't borrow my clothes....she is 3 and I do all the laundry. Guess I'm going to shake down some closets...
My socks and underwear frequently fall out of shirts as I'm hanging them up or putting them on!! I don't get it!!
