Crystalina wrote: I never buy my kids colored socks. Only white but I do buy different styles. So last night I put in 3 pairs of socks but all different styles. This morning I go in to take them out and I have only 3 sock and none of them match! Seriously! I somehow lost one of each sock in the dryer. Where do they go????!!!!!!!
MommyToAshley replied: The dryer monster eats our socks too... grrrr!
Calimama replied: I've found the only way I DON'T lose a sock is to wash them separately... but since it's such a waste of water for JUST socks.. I suck it up. I find them eventually.

Kaitlin'smom replied: what I had to do when working at the theatre to ensure 1) I got both socks to was and 2) to get them back to the right person was saftey pin them together, worked wonders. no lost socks and they got back to the right actor
now if only I woudl do this at home
Crystalina replied: This is believable.
Crystalina replied: I keep wanting to buy one of those little mesh bags but every time I'm at the store I forget but I seem to always remember that I need to buy more socks.

mom21kid2dogs replied: Sock Sucker. It's standard on all dryers made in the US. I think the foriegn market has picked up on it too. That's why they all buy stock in socks.
ETA: It also implants homing devices in the remaining sock. The match will only reappear within a week of disposing of the lost mate.
Crystalina replied:
Sooo true!
MoonMama replied: Oh I HATE that! I use a little mesh "delicates" bag for socks. Each person has their own.
mammag replied: I am the queen of the sock bag! I have a huge collection of socks just waiting for the return of their "friend" as I call it. Poor little lost socks.
MoonMama replied:
I've got a little plastic tote full of socks with out their "friend" too....because we all know the second we toss them the other WILL turn up.
HuskerMom replied: It takes them to narnia.
Crystalina replied: And they aren't cheap! I'm going to have to get one of those mesh bags tomorrow.
