Odd socks and how they got that way...

I have cracked the "odd sock" phenomenon! On my way back from the compost box this morning, across the freshly fallen snow there it was, the black sock lying there like it was marking the scene of a crime!

I have been plagued by lost socks and lonely left-behinds all my life but today I know how they do it. IT'S NOT BLACK HOLES! It is static cling.

I got my housecoat out of the dryer, it was chilly in the basement so I put it on. The escaping sock hung on while I made my coffee and did a few chores and then saw it's chance after I left the house. It jumped off.

I get it, I don't want to spend most of my time in a dark, possibly moldy place either (oh wait, I do don't I?) but Sock, you are part of a pair. You have an identical twin who needs you to have purpose in her life, I do not...

OMG, I have to get out of here!!!!
