NATIONAL LOST SOCK MEMORIAL DAY
May 9 recognizes a fun and unique holiday, National Lost Sock Memorial Day. This quirky National Day is a time to say goodbye to all of the single socks. The ones where their mates have been lost to the unknown.
#LostSockMemorialDay
Where do all the missing socks go? Is there a washing machine heaven? This is a question people have been trying to solve for many centuries. An answer may never be found to this problem, and life will go on. How sad to have lost such a close-knit friend!
Of course, since before the dawn of Tupperware, inventors have attempted the prevention of such separation anxiety. Alas, if they had succeeded, mismatched socks wouldn’t be popular today. And, we wouldn’t be pausing to remember them every May 9th. The only thing we can do is encourage you to celebrate the life of that lost sock and send the other off to another dimension.
