SOCKS

Okay so this one had to pop up sooner or later. I have been known to rather like socks… *clutches handfuls of the garments to her chest while cackling happily*

But come on! There are few things as really enjoyable as sliding cold feet into a pair of warm, fuzzy socks! Even rather hot, sensitive feet are happy for a pair of socks to deactivate them and comfort them in a snug cotton hug.

Slide those soft socks on and straight away you’re overcome with that delightful, ‘I’ve-accomplished-something-small-but-glorious!’ feeling, and if you don’t wiggle your toes while looking down on them fondly, you can’t possibly be human!

Socks make almost all shoes feel that much more comfortable to boot – pun intended. Admittedly they do look odd with sandals and flip-flops but I have seen people persevering, overcoming all common and fashion sense, to mix the two items of clothing in a volatile mix that brings a tear to your eye and makes you walk the long way around them.

And personally I think mismatching your socks adds just that little bit extra character! I dare you to try wear mismatched socks for a week, and then go back to the drear monotony that is a matching pair!!

Plus you get to foil the sock gremlin in that it won’t ever matter again if your socks match or not, so when the inevitable sock gets kidnapped off to the Land of Lost Laundry it’s not the horror/tragedy it could be!

(Though I do find that when wash day comes around and all my socks are churning happily in the machine, that my drawer seems to be filled with nothing but matching black socks! It seems the sock gremlin is a wily creature indeed…)

Oh and then one of life’s little bonuses! When there’s a smooth, slippy floor and you can go skidding from one side to another with reckless abandonment! You get a little, thrilling ride and the floor gets a nice buffing, it’s a win-win thing.

I’ve sustained some of my best injuries that way!

Socks just add that little extra bit of comfort and pizzazz to daily living!

Socks are Awesome!
