Is it odd that my teenager is obsessed with sock puppets?

He makes at least 10 per week. He goes to Ocean State Job Lot and buys tube socks by the gross...

Update:

He takes them with him wherever he goes. It could be a little league game or McDonalds...It doesn't matter. He seems to always have one in his back pocket. Now he's actually using black socks. He says that he's building a family of mambas...

Update 2:

For his birthday he wanted a pack of those googley eyes and string...I can hardly keep him away from craft stores because he's always looking to bolster his supply chain for his puppets.

Update 3:

He's walking around the house right now with sock puppet socks on his feet...

Update 4:

Marine Fish: I said that he liked sock puppets, not leg warmers...

    Just because he likes sock puppets doesn't mean he's obsessed with them. Maybe that's he's favorite toy. like many teenagers use Playstations or X-Box's to get their mind off of things maybe he likes using sock puppets. You can also try to talk to him about joining a sport, this can help him get his mind of the sock puppets and more into a sport or another activity.

    That is odd, ask him why he is so obsessed with those sock puppets, maybe take him to a therapist to sort this situation out.
