Wrong-side Out

I don’t mind folding clothes.   With two children—two messy children—there are lots of clothes to wash and fold.  What  I do dislike though is turning inside-out clothing and then having to fold it.   It strikes me as a wasted step, the whole turning inside-out of the clothes.   It may be easier to pull off a sock or a pair of underpants and put them in the basket.   It’s definitely quicker to take off a shirt by pulling it over your head and turning it wrong-side out, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.

I have these “methods” to take off every single items of clothing and have it stay correctly-oriented as I do so.   I have ways to do this with my children’s clothes as well.   I’ve noticed now that my children are learning to do the same thing…some of the time…on occasion…okay, rarely.

The Big Boy Update:  We were getting ready to go and my son had pulled a lot of pillows off the bed and chair.   I said something and before I could finish my son said, “don’t worry mom, we’ll clean it up.”  And so they did.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My husband was shredding paperwork today.   My daughter asked what he was doing and he said, “I’m getting rid of the evidence.”   My daughter looked intently at the shredder and said, “I want to see some of the evidence go down.”

Fitness Update:  Eight miles running after my neighbor’s alarm system went off “basement motion sensor” at 5:25AM, followed by a, “failure to communicate” message.    We don’t know what caused the alarm to sound.   The basement was empty from what we could tell.
