Sock Puppets Rule.

The next time someone gives you a hard time about losing all the matches to your socks, just make a puppet. Then put on a show. Nobody will give you a hard time any more.
Here are some tips:
1. Put the sock on your NON-writing hand to decorate it (example - if you are right-handed, put the sock on your LEFT hand), so you can see how the sock fits and so you can use your writing hand to do the work. Or, you can stuff the sock with crumpled newspaper to make it poof out while you decorate it.
2. Use white glue, and press everything on firmly.
3. When you want to get the sock off your hand to let it dry (or just rest between performances), pull it by the nose, gently.
4. And of course, as the example shows, you can never have too many googly eyes on your sock puppet. Googly eyes also rule.
