But I do occasionally post a status on facebook. Sigh...yes, somehow I have fallen prey to using electronic posts from my phone to attempt to stay in touch with friends around the country.
The following status report is somewhat routine. What I enjoyed most was the volley of comments from my friends:
Window into my life: kids are packing for camp, and 3 out of 4 of them say they don't have any socks. How can they "not have any socks while two BASKETS of unclaimed socks sit at the bottom of the stairs? These socks don't belong to anyone. I'm thinking that we must have somehow grabbed all the neighbor's socks.
They are in sock heaven.
Oh, that is my life!
That's hysterical!
There is a portal between all the dryers in the world. YOur kid's socks are probably in a laundry basket half way around the world in the house of another sockless teenager.
Well, there has been a population explosion of Sock Monkeys recently.
I have a box of mismatched socks in my closet. Maybe all the mates ran away to your house?!
I am running a homeless sock shelter, too!
This is exactly why I only buy the same color sock - so I don't ever again put on two different colored socks and believe no one will notice!
We should have a huge sock matching party and offer prizes to the kids for each pair they make.
And all the leftovers will be made into puppets!
(And from my 22 year old's live-in girl friend: That's where all of K's missing socks are! lol! I think the sock party followed by puppet arts and crafts sounds like a good plan.
And my response to this other woman in my son's life:Ahhh, Layla, you now know one of K's secrets!! He is the king of missing socks - both in the losing and the borrowing!
Life is so much easier knowing we all share a tidbit of the same chaos!
thanks for your kind words...l thought when l wrote the post title a bigger cup it sounds oddly familiar...and when l read your comment l knew why instantly..
