no matter how irrational or crazy it may seem...it really was important for us NOT to throw away boy's holed up gringy icky socks. Even though he has several other pairs that are in perfect condition and the same as the ones that needed tossing...to him, the holed up gringy icky socks held a special spot in his heart and the very idea of tossing them in the trash was more than he could handle...meltdown ensued.
It makes no sense to me. It will never make sense to me. But to him, it all makes perfect sense and to him, those socks have a heart and have been with him through many fun adventures, evident by the holed up gringy icky'ness of them.
So, what can you do? Don't throw the socks out, let the tears subside...and pray that someday you will be able to ditch those gringies...
..but even then I know he will count his socks and figure out they are missing!

"it makes no sense to me.It will never make sense to me." You are very correct in your statement...you NEVER will because their brain is different and trying to make "our" sense just wastes time. Go with the flow, really in the big picture who cares and if they comfort him then "yay" comfort is good.
ReplyDeleteMine is 21 now and belive it or not now he buys new socks for himself...ALOT. You know why? he doesn;t feel like washing them!!
