I thought I trained the kids to that job, but alas... I haven't worn a pair of sock that wasn't self matched at the time of need from the sock basket...(shhhh...and sometimes I still wear mis-matched socks because it was too dark)

The kid doesn't match up her socks. I don't think she has a single pair of matched socks.
Personally, I think the mates to all her mismatched socks have simply vanished into the black maw of her lair--but she says she does it deliberately because she likes to wear them that way. 
Edit to add:
BTW, on the opposite end of the spectrum, I once knew a guy who was so OCD that he believed that there were right and left socks. He got quite upset when I disagreed.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I am doing laundry right now and I just bet there will be one sock missing when I am done. 
The dryer is done, time to check!

I put six pair of socks in the washer and then into the dryer.
I now have four pair of socks and two single unmatched socks.
I am convinced that there is a black hole in my dryer.

Does anybody remember Todd? (Where the heck is he?)
He had a solution to avoid the tedious chore of sorting out matching socks: Before throwing the dirty socks into the laundry hamper he fasten them together with a safety pin.

Gee, I wonder what would have happened if I had pinned my ex-husband to one of the single socks? Poof????
Should have tried it for my ex mother-in-law, too.
Hmmmmm.....I might be on to something here?

I just folded all of my whites and matched up my socks but there is a navy blue sock that came out of nowhere! I think Cyn, that when they disappear, they just may come back. They are hiding lurking inthe dryer waiting for the right time to reappear!

I swear Mel, you just cracked me up.
Damn...i'm jealous...I have about 5 socks that are missing their partner. At this point I'm thinking they it's legal separation and they don't want to match up again.

Socks don't really like feet, so they cling to the inner circle of the top of the washer during the last spin.
Then the next time you wash you end up with an extra sock. And the cycle starts again next time you wash.

I used to have nothing but Burlington OTC socks with the green or blue stripe at the toes. I wasn't fussy about matching the blue or green stripes. Damn, I wish I could find more of them.
All seriousness aside, I have brown/blue/black socks that get along fine.
