decree

All males in this household shall henceforth wear the same brand and size of socks.

Any male found not in compliance will forthwith become his own laundress.

All previously owned socks are now considered banned and will be disposed of on sight.



Effective immediately.
Signed, the Queen

p.s. Girls--we're going to adopt a similar plan. In a couple of years.

I hope you're allowing them to wear something more conservative to church!

You must pull out that darling Hello Kitty sock!

Hopefully it belongs to a female of the house, anyways:)

I can hardly wait until Emma is into adult size socks so that we can adopt a similar plan for the girls in our house. Chris gets his socks all to himself.

excellent plan. I recently spent something like $40 on boys/mens socks thinking that the expensive ones might last longer. But I think they didn't. Your thoughts?

Sarah said...

You crack me up. I love how you signed the queen!

I'm digging that plan. Really digging it.

you inspired me back when your girls would come over to my house to teach my children mis-matched socks are not only OK to wear, but pretty cool too. I thank you a million times for that inspiration.

We caught a couple episodes of the marriage ref. The one husband numbered and lettered each sock and had to have them match exactly. Everyone thought he was crazy except howie, who only wears a sock once.

Barefoot sandals to church, like Jesus.

my socks go into the laundry bin twice a week secured together with a safety pin, and are rescued from the dryer pile intact a day or two later. Except for the ones Erik uses for soccer.
