Purple socks...
Jun. 3rd, 2003 08:21 pmI lost one of my favorite socks recently. I was sad, they were my favorite pair (after my Hello Kitty socks). They are dark purple, and covered with cows. The perfect Midwestern fashion accessory.
Oddly enough, I bought them in California! I always get comments when I wear them, of course I wore them at Wiscon. I did laundry a day or so after the con was over, and when I dumped my basket onto the bed, one of my beloved socks was gone. I ran back down to the laundry room. All the dryers were full and tumbling other tenants clothes. So heartbroken was I that I wrote a note:
"Missing- one purple sock covered in cows. If it turns up in your basket, please leave by my door."
I left it's mate with the note. Then I waited. Days passed. Laundry built up in my basket, as laundry so often does. Time to do more laundry. What's this? Behind my basket, in the back of the closet- a purple sock! With cows! It never made it into someone else's load of laundry, it was never missing at all! Joy! I took my basket downstairs. It's mate was still sitting there, waiting, hoping. Purple cow socks reunited. Moo!
