My sister wife has such a way with words - she's laugh out loud wicked funny. Dana Jean - you should write a book.

Unless I missed someone's post, I'm the only sock-shoe, sock-shoe. I didn't know this was uncommon. Oh wait - CriticAndProud and ghost19 are like me. I'm okay now, in good company.

But see, at least for me, there's good reason for that. We take off our shoes at the door, so if I was going to go sock-shoe, I'd be putting on a sock in the bedroom, walking downstairs to put on a shoe, back up to put on the other sock, back down to put on the other shoe. That seems inefficient.

Besides that, a little TMI, but I put my socks on before my pants so that I'm not rucking up my pant legs to pull up my socks. And I'm not gonna put shoes on before pants. Especially with the shoes at the door.
