Socks
It has occurred to me that different folks fold their socks different ways: some folks just fold two socks together and lay them in the drawer, some folks stuff one sock inside the other, and some folks just toss socks in a drawer and find a pair as needed. I fold my socks a rather specific way: I fold them in on themselves so they form some sort of rabbit-eared looking sock-ball.
Now I know it seems a bit odd to talk about how one folds his or her socks, but there's one reason why I fold my socks the way I do--that's how my dad taught me. In fact, it is one of my earliest memories.
I don't remember how old I was, but I do remember it was just my dad and me, sitting on the old brown-green-gold carpet that covered the floors of every single-wide made in the early 1980s. We were watching Peter Pan (not the Disney animated one, but the live action one with a girl playing Peter), and Dad had a basket of his clothes. I sat there, one eye on the T.V. wondering why Peter Pan looked like a girl, and the other eye watching my dad show me how to fold socks.
It was a simple thing. It is a simple, if even somewhat vague memory, but it's something I think about every time I fold my socks.
