I’ve got no cute socks
but I’ve got a dryer that eats socks
which leaves me with all sorts of mismatches
such as these which don’t even belong to anyone in my family
and must have been left in our house by one of the neighbor kids
even though they sorta look like our kind of sock since they’re dingy gray.
But I’m willing to reveal
my family’s sad sock reality
for a really good cause like promoting
Linda Urban’s A CROOKED KIND OF PERFECT
a middle-grade novel I’ve been longing to read
and so am sharing my own version of a crooked kind of sock-related perfect.
Please share your own sock secrets
by September 1 (official release day)
and help spread the word on A CROOKED KIND OF PERFECT!

Have you been raiding my laundry basket again?! Seriously, I have one laundry basket in the basement that is nothing but unmatched socks. The day I decide to throw them away will be the day all the mates turn up….

I have a bunch, too. And I’m also reluctant to throw any away, even those tiny toddler socks that are still in great shape (for some reason) and I KNOW I have the match somewhere and then I can give them away to someone.
We’re all suffering sock psychosis.

Adult sock on four-year-old would’ve been a sight. He would’ve been flopping around that day. But in my household, it probably would’ve been good enough!
