Question of the Day

I am currently studying to get my ESL certification and I have a question that I know my future students are going to ask me. It is a question that has stumped a majority of Americans for ages.(Frankly, I'VE been wondering about the answer as well). I will give you a gold star if you can give me an answer.
Why do we say we "put on our shoes and socks", when we actually put our socks on first?

Comments:
yeah...right after we put on a "pair" of shorts or pants.

-also what about
2 all beef patties
special sauce
lettuce
cheese
pickles
onions
on a sesame seed bun

lettuce is OUT of order!!! LOL
 
hee, hee...
Ah, sweet mystery of life...
 
It is nice to see your post here, and congrats for NANOWRIMO 2006
 
Someone else's blog also posits the question, but gets no further, really... ( http://suzzwords.blogspot.com/2006/05/socks-and-shoes.html )
 
Someone, in the beginning, just got it reversed and it stuck somehow......
