    Didn't you KNOW? Wearing mismatched socks is "So Cool" because all the Bednar kids wear them mismatched to school! :)

    I believe it - mine regularly steals socks. And has an evil habit of using static to attach my undies to my kids' clothing.

    See~another reason we goats don't wear clothes. We don't want to see any laundry goblins. The human wrote a 55 here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2011/08/25/a-sign-of-the-times/

  15. MijayamiAugust 25, 2011 at 11:52:00 PM EDT

    Yes, we have a laundry goblin, too. And a mischievous ghost who does things like turning the lights on in unoccupied rooms and hiding useful items like keys and eyeglasses, especially when you need them most.

    My 55 is here

    Haha, my husband keeps those single socks, sure that they will turn up someday. They never do. Now I know why/who!
