So I never believed in the Sock Monster until I had kids. Until then it was pretty easy to keep track of my socks and then my husbands, but once our kids socks were added to the mix, they slowly started disappearing. I know I lost some because they were so tiny, but then I started loosing more and more, including our adult sized socks! Now I started thinking I was going crazy, I mean how hard could it be to keep track of socks? I just never understand how people could loose so many socks, until it started happening to me! I even tried putting my son’s socks in a lingerie mesh bag to keep them together but that ending up opening anyways in the wash.
Then one day I noticed a lonely sock hanging out of the top of the washing drum. I realized they were falling back behind the drum. I now know I am not crazy, but that there is a Sock Monster that is pulling my socks to the darkside. I have yet to recover any, but I am sure if I was to open up my washing machine, I would find a whole sock village back there!

Omg. This just happened to me yesterday. The last few times I did laundry, my washing machine sounded like an airplane coming in for a landing every time it hit the spin cycles. Yesterday after the first load finished, I lifted the lid, and there it was... a ball of white cloth stuck behind the drum with just a piece sticking out...I almost screamed at first thinking a mouse got washed in the machine. My boyfriend came and gave a good yank on it, and out popped the sock!! I too, wonder if I now have a village in there. Although it seems the airplanes have stopped landing in the laundry room! LOL
You know.....That makes sense! You may have just solved the biggest mystery since washers were invented xD Lol
OH WOW ...You have discovered where all the missing socks go..claim your fame now while you can before someone takes it lol j/k
Seriously, this is so funny b/c it's so true.
Love the picture. I probably have a complete wardrobe inside of my old washing machine's drum. LOL
So, *that* is where they go! I am always trying to match up socks. It would be so much easier if each person in the family only had ONE kind of sock and if that kind of sock was DIFFERENT from the kind that everyone else has! That's one of those things I wish I had known 20 years ago! And, yeah, it would be easier still if the washer would stop stealing them!
Oh that evil sock monster attacks every time I do laundry, makes me not want to do laundry! LOL
The mystery has been solved...
I put the baby socks in one of those mesh bags that are suppose to be for lingerie.
When I was growing up with a large family of 6 mom used to have us safety pin all our socks together as we put them in the dirty clothes. All socks that made their way under the bed and found later were put into a "find my match" bucket and we then matched them once a week and pinned and stuck in the dirty clothes for washing. My mom and us girls had no problems finding matches for socks when folding laundry. :0)
Did you go back there and see how many were hiding?
