The Washer Ate It

How many times have you SWORN that your washing machine eats the socks?! I have thoroughly analyzed this great mystery and that is the only logical explanation! I know that I can't be the lone treasure hunter on the inevitable quest to find that missing sock match. There has to be others out there like me that share this frustration.

Let's start from the beginning. I know, without a doubt, that I put in both socks. (disclaimer: if Jer loads the washer than this guarantee is voided) However, when the laundry is finished and the time arrives to match and fold the socks, there is NEVER a pair that somehow isn't missing its mate! How can this be possible?! Yet it happens every single time I do laundry! Is there a hole in the washer that dumps the socks to the center of the earth never to be retrieved again? Clearly the washer is empty when you unload it. They can't just vanish! That's why the intelligent conclusion has been that our washer has a rabid appetite for vulnerable little delicious socks.

Well, our sock mystery took a turn last night. Jeremy excitedly called me into the laundry room to show me his earth shattering discovery. He just might be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his investigative work on this case.

After this discovery, I'm sure we'll be answering calls from the FBI for Jeremy to be reassigned to work on the Bermuda Triangle and the Loch Ness Monster mysteries.
