Let's just get straight to the point. I am an optimist! I have a ginormous laundry basket full of single socks to prove it.
I have implemented a new rule at this house for our socks. It's called the Buddy System. I tell each and every sock that goes into my warshing machine to grab their partner and do-si-do. No that's not true at all. I tell them to hang onto each other and to not let go because it's going to get pretty rough and very wet in there.
Evidently they are not paying any attention to me because sometime during those warsh-rinse-and spin cycles, someone gets lost.
Now here's a question for you: Why doesn't the pair of socks get lost? Why is it that only one sock from the pair goes missing?
I mean if both of them went missing, wherever they ended up, someone could have gotten some use out of them. But no. Only one disappears.
But, I am quite sure there is a Sock Fairy. Even though I'm always bummed about losing at least one sock every week, I am always finding change. And screws. And Chapstick. I consider that a win. Lose a sock. Find a quarter.
Did you ever watch 'A Wonderful Life?' There's a line: "Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings." So, I've come up with this one: "With every sock that goes missing a house elf is freed." You have house elves, too. Right?
I've come to this conclusion that my dryer lint is actually the cremated remains of all my missing socks. Surely there's a Youtube video on how to knit dryer lint back into a sock. If you find it, let me know. I'll send you my dryer lint because I can't knit.
What does all this have to do with Tupperware Lids? (see title)
I am 100% totally convinced that all those missing socks have turned into extra Tupperware lids that fit nothing in this house.
Where do all these lids come from? Do they reproduce at night in my kitchen cabinets? I think the company should be renamed to "TupperWHERE "is the container that goes with this lid? The best murder weapon would be the container that goes to one of these 27 lids. No one would ever be able to find it.
So, to quickly sum up this random combination of words, here is my quote for the day:
"Success is getting three loads of laundry done with no missing socks."
Any of you out there in LaLa Land agree?
