well i'll have to tell this on myself. when i was 16 and in high school, we were a very poor family and didn't have much. i owned 2 pairs of socks, i washed them by hand every other night and hung them somewhere to dry - only one time in the winter they didn't get dry, so i put them on a cookie sheet and popped them into the oven, but alas, i forgot about them and u guessed it, they burnt to a crisp. so of course i had to go without socks till i made enough money baby sitting to buy me some more. This was back during World War II and everybody was poor.
