I thought the sock problem would end when the kids left home but last time I looked there were about half a dozen odd socks in our airing cupboard waiting for their mates to turn up.

I was doing some sorting the other day and found several odd gloves too!

Where do they go?

Why are there so many shoes beside the road ?

How do wire coat hangers breed? Put a couple of them in your wardrobe and you end up with hundreds. Also where do teaspoons go when they leave home?

Ok - I can solve one mystery. What happens to socks?
I have pondered long and often over this problem (4 children)
I can tell you with absolute assurance that socks are the larval form of coathangers!

Socks crawl into wardrobes and pupate, emerging as fully functional coathangers of all descriptions.

This elegant solution also answers the problem: where do all the extra coathangers come from?

Thank you so much, Yvonne. I can sleep tonight;))

I believe I know the mystery of the missing socks - BLACK HOLES!!

I have at least one black hole in each of my rooms - plus one in all of my handbags.

I spend ages looking for something, to no avail - only to have them reappear several days later.

Now my question is, are the items that reappear my original items, or duplicates from another dimension?

Strange thing is, the older I get, the more black holes seem to occur about my house.

We sort of broke the back of the sock problem, either black or white, nothing else, buy multipacks no patterns or frills !

Where do the black holes come from?

There are loads of black holes out in space - I can only assume some fall through the earths atmosphere and down my chimney.

Oh Lindsey

If only it were that easy!

When the kids were at school they had to wear black socks. I bought dozens of the bloomin things all the same.
We had one sock drawer and the theory was that every sock would match every other so we'd never have the problem!

Nope.

Within a few weeks some had faded to grey, some had mysteriously stretched or shrunk while the tops of others look decidedly wider than when we'd started. Some became ankle socks while others nearly reached the knees.
How or why I shall never know!

It was then we had to start laying them out on the bed and trying to match them up.
Have you ever tried matching all nearly black socks?

I was so relieved when older daughter went to college and decided to always wear odd socks!!! LOL Then younger one (despite being in late teens) went through a Winnie the Pooh phase and hers all had pictures on them. I think one or two of hers are still sitting forlornly on their own here somewhere.

Where does the dust-fairy live ?
You can guarantee that no sooner have I dusted then the dust is there again and husband thinks I have been on here all day !!!!!!!!

There is a happy land
Where all the odd socks go.
You never see it happen - but
They vanish; that I know!
I put in two: I take out one
(The other's never seen).
Perhaps my automatic is a kind of time machine
That whisks them off (but singly)
To a place that knows no holes,
Where they don't get worn or smelly -
And have happy little soles!

Where do slugs live in the winter?
