Still cannot sleep with socks on.



Backstory

For some unknown reason, my dad used to tell me if I slept with socks on I would grow a beard. Frightened by the prospect of being a bearded lady, I 'Pavlov Dog' trained myself to take my socks of before bed.

That is funny cause I am the opposite I have to have socks on at all times. I think I would take a shower and swim with them if I could. Can not be without socks on. My mom would get so mad when I would play outside in only my socks. Hmmmm maybe that is why I am constantly shaving my beard. I always thought it was genetic lol

Oh my gosh thinking about wearing socks that often gives me the willies! Maybe there is a correlation between socks and facial hair. The hypothesis has now been stated...

Even if romantic with my husband of 18 years still have socks on. He used to think I was strange...now he knows it. He is however jealous I can grow more facial hair. But not everyone could pull off this look! LOL

ErikaStellar says,

OMG. I personally, would not have it, no way, no socks allowed in the boom boom room. Regardless, we could test the hypothesis...tell him to wear his socks like his life depends on it!
