Anyone have extra socks?

Warning: LONG STORY

Kalena spent the night over at her cousin's house last nigt. She was so excited to go she had her bag packed, shoes on, coat on, and ready to go withing 5 minutes. We tried to tell her that her Uncle Jethro wouldn't be over for at least a couple of hours to pick her up. After a couple of times of telling her this, she finally took her coat off and decided to stay a while longer at home.

Well, I took one look in her bag to see what she had packed and realized she didn't do a very bad job. She had all her necessary items for the night and next day. Even though her pants are too big and would fall right off of her, they didn't match her shirt and her shoes were ones that didn't need socks. So, I unpacked her socks, got a different pair of pants, and a warmer pair of pajamas. I did this all while she was playing around and so she didn't know that I had taken her socks out of her bag.

When I went to go and pick her up, she was ready to go and didn't argue that part. But, the part she did argue and scream about was her socks. She swore up and down that she had her pink socks. I kept trying to convince her over and over that I had put them back in her drawer. It didn't help any. After running back and forth from me to Ana's room about 3 times, I told her we just needed to go and she could put some of her socks on when we got home. That wasn't a good enough answer, so what was? Uncle Jethro tried to give her a pair of Ana's socks to wear...did that work? Absolutely NOT!

So, what will work? I have decided I need to carry a pair of extra socks for her in my diaper bag for occasions like this. You guessed it, this isn't the first time this has happened. It has happened once before and I didn't learn my lesson from that...so at least the second time is the charm and not the third time for me learning to put extra socks in my bag. So, if you have socks you would like to donate for the cause, it would be much appreciated.
