Can I also ask.. how is it that socks - only worn to school - not the mud pits - can get so filthy, so disgusting that goodness only knows how they end up this colour?

One would think I could have learned this sooner, but then I never was a smart gal. I learned that the dirt that won't come out of socks is contracted by walking in sock feet on the CARPET.

Voila! White, paired socks.
