Things I do and do not mind folding on those rare occasions when I do laundry

When I worked nights and Terry worked days, I used to do a fair amount of laundry. Which wasn't tough, considering there was just the two of us when we first got married.

Then, after kid #2 came along, Terry stayed home full time and took over the vast, vast majority of laundry duties. And that has been the way things have worked in our house since 1997 or so.

I will, on occasion, fold a couple of loads of laundry. It happens maybe once every 6 to 8 weeks.

The fact is, I am nowhere near as good at it as Terry is. And not just because she has more experience than me. She's just naturally better at it than I am.

As near as I can tell, she can neatly fold any garment ever produced.

I, on the other hand, can only consistently do a good job on a few items. Everything else tends to baffle me.

Thus, these two lists for your perusal:

THINGS I CAN FOLD WELL
- Socks
- Towels
- Bedsheets (but only the nice square ones that even a 5-year-old can handle)

THINGS I CANNOT FOLD WELL

- T-shirts

- Shorts

- Bras

- Fitted sheets

- Jackets/hoodies/robes/pullovers

- Random articles of women's clothing that I cannot precisely identify; I only know that, whatever they are, I do not fold them well

- Impossibly tiny scraps of fabric that pass for my daughters' underwear and that sometimes sneak into our laundry and make me uneasy to look at, let alone handle
