Well, after I finished this book I deleted it, which I guess means I have learnt my lesson about not keeping things that don't spark joy in me. But also this book is crazy and I can not and will not ever talk to my socks. Except for when my son and I have panda socks on and the pandas play hide and seek. 
 P.S. Drying dishes outside on a balcony is wrong and weird and pointless. WHAT IF A BIRD POOED ON YOUR DISHES??!
