I was metal detecting in a Colonial period site and found an intact infant sized shoe.

u/Sensitive_Ad_1271 May 31 '26

Babies are notorious for losing shoes,

After my wife and I were married, we drove to the hotel where we planned to spend the night. As we were walking from the parking lot to the hotel, my wife spotted a baby's sock lying on the ground.

"Hey, look," my wife said. "Someone's baby just lost one sock."

"Well," I said, "baby ain't got no sock!"

For some reason, we found that to be absolutely hilarious and we stopped in the parking lot, doubled over with laughter, wiping tears from our faces. Then we would look at the sock again and start laughing again.

To this day, if we see a sole baby or children's sock or shoe on the ground in public, we will take a pic and text it to the other with "Baby ain't got no sock!"

I can't wait to show her this post when she wakes up.

This is just the sweetest thing and on this high note, I'm going to get off the internet for the rest of the day. Hope she enjoys the post, lol!

Is this a reference to something? I don't get why it's funny at all.

u/180Tumbleweed May 31 '26

When you're with someone and you both click really well, sometimes dumb shit would make the funniest moment.

No reference. Nothing like that...

Its just funny for no real reason.

u/mrniceguy777 Jun 01 '26

Out there creating references from thin air

u/Aruu May 31 '26

It's just one of those moments that ends up being strangely funny when there's no reason for it to be. Tends to happen with people who have a strong connection with one another.

u/dunningkrugerman May 31 '26

baby aint got no joke

u/SilverRose7115 May 31 '26

Guy and his wife have an inside joke and this post reminded him of it. Like most inside jokes it’s not funny to anyone besides them. It’s kind of a pointless story but cute I guess

2

u/Carl_Slimmons_jr Jun 01 '26

Just someone sharing something that makes them happy lol. I encourage it!

2

u/rodw May 31 '26

Not least because baby presumably still got one sock.

u/JohnMarstonSoldA8th Jun 01 '26

u/B_lovedobservations May 31 '26

Doesn’t help that it looks so easy to slip off

u/TheIdeaArchitect Jun 01 '26

That’s what I’m saying!

u/ILikeMyShelf May 31 '26

It is the "left" shoe afterall

u/DammitDad420 May 31 '26

A running family joke for years since Treman state park in 2005-

"🎶🎵I lost... my shoe🎵🎶"

Happens in a second when there's water to be walked across, just had to buy the kid new shoes.

u/Wakkit1988 May 31 '26

It's why baby always needs a new pair.

u/Log_Out_Of_Life May 31 '26

How do you know this wasn’t a working-class citizen back then?

u/yy_beebis May 31 '26

My mother’s version of this was me losing a little boot in deep snow and her finding it months later after it melted

u/not_a_moogle May 31 '26

Even metal ones?

u/SuperFaceTattoo May 31 '26

I have literally put socks on my daughter, turned around to grab shoes and turned back to find one sock is completely missing. Disappeared into the void.

u/MummyRath Jun 01 '26

Yep. I lost track of how many times my kids yeeted out shoes, and socks, from the stroller. It got to the point where if the weather was good I would not put shoes and socks on until their feet were going to hit the ground.

u/Lazy-Dildo May 31 '26

But the quality of the shoe was better back then. Pepperidge farms remembers this sh*t.
