My Left Foot

A while ago I had the problem of needing to buy new socks for work. Like a typical male I treat clothes shopping as a problem to be solved, thus I solved the problem by buying 5 pairs of the same socks in the same color. In Japan you can buy socks with toes. I love these kind of socks. Very freaky looking.

So sitting in the dark of my room this morning (I have thick brown curtains to keep out the 5:30am sunshine) getting dressed I was surprised to find as I unrolled each balled-up pair of socks, that they were all for my left foot. It's a little confusing and disconcerting when you're in a half asleep state to try and put a left-footed sock onto your right foot. Then when you finally work out why your big toe can't squeeze into the tiny little toe position, stand up, get another pair, sit down, try to put them on, only to once again be confronted by the big toe conundrum, it's really confusing. When it happens three times in a row I suspect foul play. Next time I see Mari I'll be questioning her heavily about the head and shoulders with a smelly sock.
