Lots of Socks

Twelve... this is the number of pairs of socks that Asher and Obed went through - in two days. Asher and Obed have developed a very different, but certain affection for socks. Obed's affection involves putting socks in his mouth and crawling around the house. Why? Well, why not I suppose. Asher will pull his sock basket down off its shelf and has yet to learn the discipline of putting it back up. Then, Obed will crawl into Asher's room, select socks from the basket, and crawl around the house with socks in his mouth.

Asher enjoys being barefoot about 98% of the time. He is almost always walking around sans socks or shoes. If he should decide, however, to wear a pair of socks, he has decided that it needs to be a clean pair - every time he decides he'd like to wear a pair of socks... for 27 seconds. He's done well in that when he's done wearing the socks, he goes to put them in the laundry basket, at which point it becomes difficult to discern which socks are really actually dirty, which are just stained and look dirty, and which are the ones he has worn for 27 seconds. Fortunately, socks are not a large laundry item... so washing them by the dozens is not a huge task.
