Doing Laundry the Right Way | Print |  E-mail
Written by Joeprah   

Ah, laundry.  I think we can all agree that we love to hate it.  Also, I think no other chore in the house is more of an affront to our manliness than laundry.  That is precisely why I have devised a better way to do this dreaded chore.  Most people would say that laundry should be part of a daily chore routine (see fools) and that it requires fastidious attention to detail as it is akin to a science with all the right angles, measuring amounts of liquids, etc.  I look at it as more of a death match.  An ultimate struggle that I face not only externally with each piece of linen I mangle, but internally as I re-examine my masculinity, that is until recently as I have found a better way.  A better way is what has made this country of ours great, and I will share this with you, free of charge, as so my brothers may learn a valuable lesson.  I have compiled a list of ingredients that are necessary for a successful laundry session.  Pay close attention.

 

Smart Enough That You Understand Up to This Point 

IQ > 100

 

Gigantic Tower of Clean (Critical) Laundry 

Manly Pile of Laundry

Almost Folded

 

A General is Nothing Without Footmen

Will Work For Food 

Excellent at Less Complicated Folds

 

A Place to Detain The Insolent

A Place to Detain The Insolent 

Must Be Sturdy and Free From Debris to Climb On

 

The Insolent

Snug as Bug In a Rug

Anyone That Unfolds Is Better Off Confined

 

Rewards for Hard Work

More Fun Than Folding

A Serious Job Deserves Serious Rewards

 

It is really simple actually.  If you did not figure it out, then here is a review:

  1.  Make huge manly pile of laundry. 
  2. Force feed children old enough to fear you into action.
  3. Confine all children young enough to get in the way as they will take pleasure in unfolding. 
  4. Fold until bored.
  5. Play console game of choice.
  6. Repeat steps 4  & 5 until completed 

Remember, laundry doesn't fold itself unless you have the help of little children.  Good luck and happy folding.

LOL, Here's the key to the system, I don't care how the clothes look in their drawers, as long as they 'tried' and as for the towels in their closet, just 'ok' is just fine by me. Our stuff, nope, they don't fold it.

So, about a year ago, when the kids would make me mad, I'd use "folding laundry" as a punishment.
Little did I know I was screwing myself over.
I would have to re-fold everything.
So one day, we had Laundry School.
And...
it didn't help.
HAHA

Alas, We have no lackeys currently living at home.

My darling husband has designed an alternate laundry solution, to compensate for our "lackey deficiency". This is good advice for Tim, and all whose children (I mean lackeys) have moved out.

First, do the laundry. Don't worry about all that sorting stuff; it all gets worn on the same body.

Second, semi-dry the laundry. Large comforters may be hungup outside on fence to finish bleaching-out any colors that the Clorox missed. Try to remove the largest twigs from the blankets when semi-folding. Leave clothes in box for wife to unwrinkle.
