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.

I LOVE the idea of confining "the insolent". My Insolents takes great pride and joy (cue Stevie Ray...) in systematically unfolding everything I fold. And when I pile the folded up on the dining room table, out of reach, as soon as I leave the room to put away said folded laundry she climbs right up and knocks it off. lol

LOL! That sounds like someone calling out to be detained. I am glad you found this article to be educational.

First off, the new digs look sahweet. 
 
Next, laundry sucks. I am slowly learning to cope with it though. There was a time I was not allowed to fold laundry. My technique left (and still leaves) something to be desired. But, just like on our wedding day, my wife settled.
