If anyone could tell me where to get tube socks for babies I would be grateful. I want the white kind with the colored stripes around the top. I can’t find them anywhere, and I want to put them on my baby all the time. My search on eBay only turns up ones that say things like “Sexy!” in the description so I’m really hoping they’re for adults.

Can you think of anything better for a baby to wear than tube socks? I can’t.

On an unrelated note, ‘s last post about the 5-second rule reminded me of Damon’s disgusting habit of picking up pennies off the street. Every time he does it I make a horrible face and then he says, “It’s good luck!” and then I say, “Good luck with your ebola.” I shudder to think what’s on those petri dish pennies.

    I’ve never seen baby stipey tube socks! Very retro.
    Sweetness never kept socks or booties on more than six nanoseconds. My mother was horrified, horrified. To this day she thinks Sweetness is going to freeze to death somehow. Brings to mind Edward Gorey’s “Ghastlycrumb Tinies,” heh heh heh.

    Both of mine have worn a lot of Trumpette socks. The most classic tube-sock style I got for Ez I found at Target. They’re not white, but they’re that style.

    Every time I pick up a penny, I hear my grandmother’s voice in my ear, “99 more and you’ll have a whole dollar.”
    I pick up the tails-up ones and throw them over my left shoulder, though, because those aren’t such good luck.

    Those are super cute. I’m starting to suspect there’s all kinds of fun gear available where babies are concerned.

    But don’t you need to weigh it against your hospital bills that you get when you catch hepatitis from the penny?
