[no-to-illegals]

The trick is when the socks show up to force them into a drawer or back onto the feet. And the first sentence never works. A problem that I have had though is once back on the feet, the socks tend to disappear again. The socks, in the drawer do sometimes not stay put as well. Thus I have not learned the trick you have of finding ALL of the missing socks. No doubt .. a patent is necessary for your idea. I'll be willing, for the socks sake, to adapt any idea which will save the socks.

We had a child who said, “I’m going to put my new socks on.” “Fine,” we said. Eventually, the child turned up with all eight pairs of his new socks on.
