DARN! Sure wish I'd have thought of that. Son was a real messie, went to the Navy and came home on leave. Hung up his uniform and finger pressed it so it was neat. Tossed socks on the floor. Said "Socks don't wrinkle". I said he didn't do that on ship, did he?
He just hugged me on the way out and said that Moms were nicer than any officers, and could cook a lot better too.
So of course I cooked his favorites...but no, I did not pick up any socks.
