Funny thing yesterday.
My misses buys me a pair of heavy duty socks, the ones I wear with my boots when fishing.
3 weeks ago I got a pair myself. But could only find one of them when I looked in the sock drawer. I ask her "hey there's only 1 of those new socks, do you know where the other is?"
Her "just 1, its probably in the basket downstairs".
I go look "nope its not there"
She says it'll show up eventually.
A few days later im "hey I still cant find that sock!"
She's "oh for crying out loud look in the cupboard where mine are"
I spend half an hour looking.
"Nope not there either"
Her "its just a sock"
Im "yeah a $13 pair of socks it has to be somewhere!"
She says "well maybe its in a bag of clothes I got ready to give to the op shop, look in that in the spare room"
I spend about half an hour doing that. No sock.
"Maybe its in one of my drawers and I missed it."
So go through them all.
"Nah, I cant find it anywhere"
Her "Seriously! Its just a sock you'll find it eventually! Forget about the sock!"
Im "yeah but it was a good new sock!"
Yesterday she says "here is a present for you, some new socks."
And a dummy for sooking about the other ones.
Yep she gave me socks and a dummy!
A little while later she's laughing to herself.
I ask her whats funny?
She says "the socks" keeps laughing and finally squeezes it out.
"The other week I was picking up things to wash and was carrying them, went into the bathroom to get something and your new sock fell in the toilet! I thought yuck im not washing that so threw it in the bin!"
Im "the bin!" Then "ok, so all along you knew where it was, the bin then the tip! My new sock!"
She's in fits "yes!"
Im "so all that time im looking in cupboards, drawers, bags....and your saying Its just a sock it'll turn up...it never was going to was it?"
Her "no (laughing her head off)"
She'll keep.
