When Jason’s Grandma was at Grandpa’s side non-stop during his last week in the hospital, she sat down at one of the hospital-provided computer terminals for a brief break and went onto your picklesanddimes.com site for the first time ever. She doesn’t own a computer, but said she hears us (other family members) talk about this site and was eager to check it out. She only read a couple of posts before returning to Grandpa’s bedside. One of the 2 posts was the “Somebody needs socks for Christmas” entry.

She laughed at the post! No surprise. It was a funny post.

But then said . . .
“I have to tell you why I’m laughing so hard about Jason saying he had only 6 pairs of socks in the wash but Shauna had 15 pairs of socks! Almost every week I have Grandpa fold the laundry. Almost every week he says to me ‘I just don’t understand it: every week I fold 6 pairs of my socks and every week I fold 14 pairs of yours!’ He never understood that. So I’d just tell him they must have stayed in the dirty-clothes-pile from last week.”

[But wouldn’t that number eventually catch up or even out or something?!]

Anyway, Grandma enjoyed Jason’s post. And Grandma understands Shauna’s number of socks more than any of us ever will! Oddly, Jason’s 6-pairs-in-7-days is hereditary!
