Lost Sock Memorial Day
May 9 · Level 1 · #2151 of 2238
This playful day honours the odd socks that vanish somewhere between the laundry basket and the drawer. It gives everyone a reason to laugh at a household mystery nearly all of us know.
How it is celebrated: people wear mismatched socks, dig out their lonely survivors and try to find them new partners. Some turn a spare sock into a puppet or a cup warmer, and others bid the missing one a mock farewell online.
Most socks are made identical for both feet, so a single sock can be paired with any other of the same model.
