I find myself standing in front of the washer in dryer wondering why on earth I can't keep white socks, white. It's during that moment of sheer confusion that I hear my mother echoing in my head, "don't go outside with just your socks on, you are ruining your socks!" As a five year old little girl I couldn't for the life of me figure out what Momma's problem was. At least my feet weren't getting dirty, just the socks were. I know now. I feel her pain, frustration, and defeat. It doesn't matter how much clorox I pour into the washer, those socks are not coming clean. Momma always said, "you'll have children one day and you'll understand!" Momma, take this as my public acknowledgement to your warning.... I GET IT NOW! :)
