Where the heck do they go?

I think aliens from outer space actually come down when we are sleeping and steal socks. This time they grabbed your pillow case because they thought it was a sock. Their eyesight must be failing.

I learned a little trick on the sock thing...

I keep in cup beside washer some safety pins..

So when I put socks in to wash, I put a pin on them

and then I always have the matched pair when I take

out of dryer..

Never lost a sock since ..

Sadly, I know the answer to 'where the socks go'.

Last year I tore apart our washer, took the drum out, the whole kit and kaboodle. I just wanted to say, 'kit and kaboodle' because it's so fun to say.

Anyway, in the deep recesses of the pump I found, bundled up, afraid and alone, several lone socks and I pair of my sons underwear.

I must say that I was a bit sad to have uncovered the mystery. That is until I realized that the aliens must have rigged the washing machine to take the socks!!

Well I made a very long post to this and it is missing! Gone forever.

Did you put it back correctly, the whole kit and kaboodle? (Yes, it's fun to say.) Should I not attempt to do this at home?

Doesn't that make them stretch out funny? Well, I guess that's better than missing. Thanks for the tip.

This was a "Married with Children" episode. The aliens were stealing Al's socks for fuel - they had to be worn and not washed.
