A Question, If I May...

Did you ever notice how you take off a pair of socks the same way?

I mean, you don't pull one inside out and the other by the toe - it's always both the same way.

I noticed this while doing laundry.

Last Christmas I got day-of-the-week socks as a present, so I was sorting them out of the wash and saw that Monday were both inside out, while Wednesday were both rightside out.

On a hunch, I paired off the remaining socks, to find them all matched in terms of - attitude, let's say.

I just thought it curious enough for a post - or there might be too much argonite in my diet...

sounds formiliar although I díd make an exception last week..and didn't notice when I (which indicates I really shouldn't have) put on the same socks on the next day..I had one sock on that was inside out...
That'll teach me haha.

I never thought about that before, but you're right. I'm going to be really self-conscious when I'm getting ready for bed later.

I know - like a song you can't get out of your head...

Sorry.

If it's any consolation, I try not to wear my socks on the right day - today, for example, feels like a Thursday, sock-wise...

Okay, I'll stop now.

Dr Invisible? Didn't see you there, sorry...

But you're probably correct - I imagine it's a lot like Pratchett's theory on the Trousers of Time; I just don't want to find out...
