This is one of the cutest stories about missing socks:

In The Land Of The Missing Socks (A Short Story) - Amazon ...
www.amazon.com › Books › Literature & Fiction › Humor
Amazon.com

In the short story, The Land of the Missing Socks, Goss Simnick is dealing with a problem as old as the history of laundry: where did my socks go? ... Goss has stumbled upon a secret: a tunnel behind the family dryer leads down into the earth. ... It rivals the best stories I have read in "Fantasy and Science Fiction" magazine

I read it a long time ago and was surprised to find it on Amazon.

thanks gang :)
on certain rides you have to take off your flip-flops, when we got off the ride and went to get the flip-flops back, my friend started laughing because someone took her broken flip-flop and left the good one there :)

It was the strangest looking image until the description popped up, and wow, it's amazing how realistic it looks!
