The Sock Mystery

I love mysteries. I love reading them, watching them, writing them, solving them and trying to make some out of nothing. I've loved them so much over the years, that I've become very, VERY good at solving them. I can pretty much figure out any mystery in a movie or show in no time. Not to brag...but it's true. So, imagine my surprise when the mystery of the orange-spotted socks had me stumped for WEEKS!

Each time I did my laundry, I couldn't figure out why some of my socks had these funky orange spots on the heel. (I would show you an example, but I really don't want to subject you to the sight of my dirty socks) At first, I thought I had stepped in something. But there were several pairs with these same strange orange circles, so I knew that couldn't be the case. I was so stumped and frustrated that I gave up on trying to figure it out. My idol Matlock would be so disappointed.

But then yesterday, after all hope was lost, all the clues came together for me and I was able to solve it. Here is my new pair of New Balance shoes. I'm sure it won't take you as long to figure it out.
