The Sock Experiment

Hello to all and Welcome to the results of my Sock Experiment! Ahhh...you didn't know that for the past week or so I have been conducting a very scientific Sock Experiment, did you? Well, let me give you a little overview of the experiment and how it all came about. One evening I was sitting on the couch folding laundry and putting it into the "appropiate" piles ie: mine, hubby's, oldest, and youngest and towels. So, after I was finished, and this was at least the 4th load, everyone took their piles upstairs and put their clothes away...at least I think they got put away, with my crew you never really know. Anyway....I came back downstairs and noticed a single white sock laying on the floor in front of our entertainment center. It was also about a foot from my husband's chair and to walk between the chair and the entertainment center you had to pass the sock, even step over it or on it or around it...any of those choices would work in actually avoiding the picking up of the lone sock. So that's when the idea for the experiment hit me! Instead of picking it up like I normally would do I decided to leave it there and see how long it would stay there before one of the 3 men in my house picked it up. So, I waited, and I waited and everyday I looked at the sock. I walked past it. I stared at it for long periods of time, willing myself not to go and pick it up. I stuck to my plan and well...today is Thursday and honestly I don't remember when exactly I started the Sock Experiment...but it's still there. Unbelievable? Not really. Annoying? TOTALLY!!!! So today is the day....I have my scientific findings and I will be picking up the lone sock as soon as I finish this post. In conclusion I am convinced that men are blind to things laying on the floor, not all men, just most men. This ailment is akin to the inability to see the clothes hamper and depositing their dirty laundry next to it on the floor.
