Let’s get something clear: Socks are an optional piece of clothing. If you need to go without them, then go without them. It’s not like pants, in which case one might find oneself arrested for going without. Socks? Eh. Who needs them?<\/p>\n
In what case might one need to go without socks? Let’s think of one scenario:<\/p>\n
Tuesday was a long, long day. It involved raspberry picking with one child who hates all forms of fruit. It involved a playground trip with children who suddenly decided that it was more fun to hang on mom and whine about snacks. It involved a trip to Whole Foods that was half miserable. It involved not one, but two playdates at our house. It involved a “meet the class” playground trip in which my son refused to meet a single new person. It involved children who didn’t want to get into car seats, eat dinner, and who in the process lost their shows. It involved everyone going to sleep, but being woken up at 3:45 a.m. by a false fire alarm. It involved knowing that we have one more day to get through till the big one starts first grade. It involved knowing there are still six<\/i> more days to get through till the little one starts preschool. It involved Adam going to D.C. for a day trip on Wednesday with a 7:45 a.m. flight that gets back home at 10 p.<\/p>\n
Knowing all this, at 5:34 in the morning, would you go back into the room where your wife, son, and daughter were actually sleeping to retrieve a pair of socks<\/i> that you had forgotten, risking waking up the entire family just before skipping town? No. Of course not. What sane person would?<\/p>\n
