The Secret of the Plant That Ate Dirty Socks Stanley and Fluffy are now able to move around on their own, using skateboards and spread their seeds around town.

The Escape of the Plant That Ate Dirty Socks The family takes their weird sock-eating plants on vacation as they travel in an RV and encounter a scientist who might be interested in studying Stanley and Fluffy. The Return of the Plant That Ate Dirty Socks Michael gets a couple of mysterious plant seeds in the mail which grow sock-eating plants. Over time, other people learn about the plants, and the plants acquire more of an ability to move around on their own. Michael’s plant (which he names Stanley) only likes dirty socks, while Norman’s (named Fluffy) prefers clean ones. The boys have fun with their plants, treating them like pets, but soon, it becomes obvious that these aren’t normal plants.Įventually, they discover that both of their plants are eating socks from their room at night. Michael is more experimental, dumping plant food on his plant haphazardly and even giving it bits of human food from time to time. Norman is very regular in his habits, watering his plant daily with his squirt gun and giving it the proper amount of plant food. The seeds come with a set of instructions, but Michael soon loses them, and the boys are left to care for their plants themselves. He plants one himself and gives one to his brother to plant. One day, Michael gets a couple of seeds in the mail that he doesn’t remember sending away for. Often, by the time these things arrives, he’s forgotten what he sent away for.

Michael also likes sending away for random things in the mail, like toys that require him to save a certain number of box tops. Michael’s always saving random things that might turn out to be useful later, although how useful they are is questionable because it’s hard to even find things. Norman is a neat freak, and Michael likes things messy. Michael and his younger brother, Norman, share a room, but it’s not a peaceful arrangement.
