How many socks rest beneath the ankle? And look at this:


It might be wearing a sign but in what world is that a sock?

Our world is only a tiny spec of what's in the Universe.

Maybe footlets are all the rage on Saturn.

You don't know.

All I see when I see that house slipper is warmth.

Which is kind of weird (to call a slipper a beddie), because you don't where slippers IN the bed.

She also calls a vaccuum cleaner a sweeper. Which of course makes no sense.

She calls taking the dog out to pee, "watering the dog".

My mother has problems.

Slipper socks can be worn to bed.

Calling a vacuum a sweeper is not strange. It's generational and regional.

Some people call water fountains bubblers.

Also this convo is my first ever introduction to the word "footlet" and already it's annoying me. This sock needs to be renamed, if only for the sake of my sanity...

A forced footlet.

So sad.
