We all know that washing machines eat socks... what do you do with the widows?

I try to match them with other socks of the same style and color or else I toss them. They make good dusting mitts though.

looks embarrassed -

wear them under long boots - nobody ever asks to see if your socks match.

I know I know, what if I got run over by a bus, and the doctor had to take my boots off?

You can cut off the foot part and stick the tube part over a spray can.

It doesn't help the can...its just warm and softer on your grip.

The go in the lonely sock basket till I find the match. And every couple of years I go through the lonely sock basket and toss socks that have found no match.

I have 2 lonely sock drawers, and they all go there until I get around to matching them up for the kids...

I have a lonely sock drawer which funnily enough only has hubbys single socks in it.....Every few months I manage to match a pair or two up.

Look:-3

Pink's for noses, like my cat's,

Green's for leaves, or maybe parrots,

Brown's for cocoa or fruit bats,

And Orange's just the thing for carrots.

Bite,

A clean snap, molars chew,

Vegetable of hearty satisfaction.

Not like okra, ooh what goo,

Where teeth don't get no traction.

Chew, :p

Sometimes though, a bit of grit

Hit's filling, and you'll hurt

You'll grimace then, and out you'll spit,

A bit of carrot dirt.
