OTTAWA — Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau had time to visit his old childhood homestead where he found his secret pair of old crusty socks.
The pair of stained yellow Hanes socks with a stingy smell brought back many adolescent memories at the Prime Minister’s residence.
“I found the socks were wedged between my old mattress and boxspring, just where I left it,” said a nostalgic Trudeau seated in his bedroom. “This brings me back.”
The soiled socks were later auctioned off for $20,000.
Among other historical mementos rediscovered at the residency include Brian Mulroney’s dartboard shaped as Peter C. Newman face, Paul Martin’s voodoo doll of Jean Chretien with several pins in the eyes, and Mackenzie King’s taxidermy of his dead mother.
According to the National Capital Commission, the Trudeau family will not be able to move into the 147 year-old house until next year since the previous owner had punched too many holes into the wall.
