Re: Extremely Short Stories for those of you with Extremely Short Attention Spans

Alex and Olivia were newly-weds and were deeply in love. They were as one soul intertwined. However, there was one issue that they would never be able to agree upon.

Alex didn't want Olivia folding his sock and putting them away. You see, Olivia came from a family who owned a chain of automobile tire stores. Rotating tires was a value that was a part of her consciousness that she could not ignore. Olivia would take one thin worn out sock and match it with a thicker new sock to encourage more even wear and thus getting most mileage out of each sock.

Alex understood Olivia's tire rotation upbringing, but it was Alex who was forced to walk around in circles all day.

The End.

True Story.
