If you should ever find yourself going to a party in the winter, when snow is on the ground, be sure your socks aren’t inside-out. That way, when you arrive and realize that leaving your shoes on and trampling snow and road salt through your friend’s house is not an option, you won’t have to sit around meeting new people and making small talk while wondering all the while if they’re really listening to you or just staring at the telltale seam across your toes that is clearly unaccustomed to being exposed.
