It's a mystery that has intrigued Americans for centuries:

Truth be known, the only thing that has intrigued me is that refrigerator light that always seems to be on when I open the door......

...and those darn socks which disappear from my dryer.

"...and those darn socks which disappear from my dryer."

You, too?

I want to know why you can’t tickle yourself. Or why you don’t sneeze in your sleep.

"Truth be known, the only thing that has intrigued me is that refrigerator light that always seems to be on when I open the door......",

When I was four my father told me it was "Joe Shlook the midget" who turned the light on. Both parents told me years later that I then drove both of them crazy repeatedly opening the door quickly to try to get a glimpse of ol'Joe. Thank you for the memory.

Turn your clothes inside out before you wash them and right side out after they dry.

Then the missing socks show up.

Ancient Astronaut theorists agree that there is a little man who lives in the fridge. His job is to turn the light on and off.

Like Santa, he sees you when you're sleeping and he knows when you're awake.

When he knows that you're sleeping, he sneaks out of the fridge and goes to the laundry room to steal socks. He's so small that he uses the socks to keep warm while he's in the fridge. (It gets *cold* in there!)

He originally comes from Alpha Centauri and he looks just like Giorgio Tsoukalos,but really, really tiny -

So, those must be your socks which mysteriously teleport into my dryer.

...and those darn socks which disappear from my dryer.

When my daughter was young, I mentioned the dryer "stealing" socks, and she asked how did I know it was the dryer? Was I sure all the socks were there when I switched clothes from the washer to the dryer. Maybe everyone had always blamed the dryer, when the washer was the real culprit. Pretty decent logic for a 4 year old.
