Many times throughout our lives we stop and wonder where those missing socks go. What’s it all about? Why have we lost our sock and what are we going to do with the one that’s left behind? Our questions make us stop and think, if only for a minute.
Take a journey with this young fellow and discover the hidden messages that come with the loss of the sock. You’ll be delighted with the answer and you may just learn a little along the way!
We are all odd socks living together in a colourful home (Mother Earth) and we are so beautifully unique and uniquely special.
