Socks.

Dear people who manufactured the socks that I threw away yesterday,

When you were growing up, did you want to be a sock maker?

What drove your passion for sock-making?  Was it the love of cozy toes?  Or was it all the money?  Do you feel like a sock snob with particularly high standards?  Do you even wear your own socks?

Hear now.  I walk my baby to his day care two or three times a week.  It’s not a particularly long walk, but just around the block, maybe five minutes one way.  Twice now, your socks have shimmied down – down – down and finished their descent by bypassing my heel and bunching up inside of my arch.

No, this does not rock my world.  Yes, it’s a petty, minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things.  Sure, this always happens on the day when it’s hardest to fix my socks past the high boots.

*sigh*

If you’re going to make socks, wouldn’t your objectives me fairly simple?

1) Cover feet.

2) Keep them covered.

What’s the point of making a sock that wants to be an inchworm?

Please invest in a little more elastic.  It’s a simple request.

Holy XOXO’s,

Suzy**

    Oh man, I really despise the socks that slip down and bunch up in my arch … can’t walk five feet and there they go …….. Bleh!

    I tend to buy the No Nonsense brand for myself and Olive … she likes the no shows, which I think are the easiest at slipping under, but these seem to hold up well enough … I prefer the ankle biter ones. 😉

    Ha! Yeah, socks that do that are a pain in my….well, foot. 😛
