SOCK (AKA BAD EGG)

(white, cotton, tube sock)

Carson claims Sock was a godsend. Sock swears he’s been sentenced to life with a nit–wit. Sock is to Carson what peace is to humanity, and Carson is to sock what a rash is to a skin irritation. Either way, without Carson… Sock wouldn’t exist. Sock is Carson’s subconscious, but Sock is a little too egocentric to realize this and if he ever did he’d probably brush such a ridiculous notion off as drivel. Sock is the only foot warmer that doesn’t give warmth, comfort or protection. Instead he gives plenty of snide remarks, sarcastic comments, and cynical views that he’s ready to share. This is a sock who hates the “washing process and detests detergent. He hates cats and dogs but his ultimate arch–enemies are the dual working washer and dryer, an odd duo in socks eyes, and if this wasn’t enough to contend with, Knee­–High arrived, bringing with him, soap detergent and a sign reading: “Scooch over better yet–the back seat was designed with you in mind!” Which brings me to the biggest dynamic of our Carson/Sock duo: Carson can’t see Knee–High, which leaves Sock seemingly further off his rocker and Carson, wondering about the long term effects of detergent.
