My sister brought me socks back from New Zealand. Red- with sheep having sex with each other all over them.

My daughter was in a xmas parade one year... I thought I had to just drop her off- (had those socks on)- turned out, I had to stay with her during the parade... walked through down town with a girl's ballet group wear socks featuring sheep humping each other.

/ fortunately hadn't worn shorts that day
