Funny Childhood Memories - Socks

"A stack of socks.  They better hope that none
of them have any holes."

Yesterday my family and I were hurriedly getting ready to go outside.  We’ve enjoyed the weather outside lately, like really.  As I was instructing my  kids to get shoes and coats on I looked down at my sock and saw a small hole in it.  In that moment I was flooded with a funny memory from my childhood.  I generally regard my memory to be of poor quality, but in reality I have these flashback moments from time-to-time.  I just need to write about them when I do.

The memory that I was reminded of, from the hole in my sock, was of something my mom would do when we were kids.  To this day I have no idea why she did this.  But, anytime we had a hole in our socks my mom would morph into the Incredible Hulk (Or pre-hair cut Samson) and would rip our sock in half, starting from the hole.  With no explanation.  This happened often to the point when I would unconsciously do it as well, without reason, just because that’s what you do with socks that have holes.  Like I said, I don’t know why she did this, but I do know that if there where such a thing as P.E.T.S. (People for the Ethical Treatment of Socks) they would be enraged with her. 

My brother and I still talk about how our mom would do this and it makes me smile to think about it.  It’s funny the things we remember; thank you mom for your craziness.  

If you got two minutes I wrote some more funny, cute, and embarrassing stories recently.


And I just realized that this post was #44 on my list of 101 ideas to blog about.

What funny memories do you have?

much love,
