Let's talk about socks

I don't know how the sock situation is at your places, but here we have a Sock Basket and every clean sock goes into it. My mum keeps threatening to just throw away all of them and start over. She never does. It's such a mess and to find a pair that matches can be so hard. Which is why I try to find a new pair of socks the night before, because looking for socks in the morning when you have a bus to catch can easily ruin it.

So, like I said, I'm going away for twelve days and therefore I had to brave the Sock Basket. But it's summer! you say. You don't need socks during the summer. Hahaha! Come to Norway and try and say that. Hopefully I don't have to use any socks during camp, that would be wonderful, but the weather here is as fickle as a whore, so you never know.

I've just spent thirty minutes beside the Sock Basket trying to find matching socks. But not only matching socks, but socks that'll fit my feet. I have the smallest feet in the house, yet my brother steals my socks anyway. Why? Because he's a lazy fuck, that's why! And he doesn't care that the sock is pink and really, truly doesn't fit his feet. I try to buy socks in splashing colours, but they seem to get lost.

BUT! My entire point was this: Washed socks still smell! At least when they are gathered together like that. Yuck.

You think nineteen socks is enough for twelve days?

Borax. Add borax to the wash and no more smell.
