Thankfully a spare was hidden inside the shorts. My absolute favorite find for myself was an Athleta running skirt for $2. So mom made out well!

So, I bought a bag of super cheap white rice and filled two old socks. You could sew the sock shut (and maybe one day I will), but the advantage of a rubber band closure is that you can just pop off the outer sock and wash it when it gets dirty. So, I got out my sewing machine and did a quick repair for her.
