Laundry Revelations

I really don’t mind doing laundry. It’s just one of those things that has to be done. And, since my husband doesn’t mind it either, we pretty much share the load, as it were.

That said I don’t like doing more work than necessary. Call me lazy or efficient, either way I prefer to get chores over with as soon as possible.

If you’re the same way, you’ll understand my bewilderment. I just realized, after 12 years of marriage, that my husband’s laundry is always inside-out. Shorts, t-shirts, undershirts, work shirts, everything!

That makes folding laundry twice as time-consuming. (I know I could fold it as is, but to me it doesn’t feel done/clean/finished if it’s inside-out).

Normally, I would just tell my husband to “stop it!” I was curious though, to see why and how his clothes end up that way. So this morning I spied on him as he got ready for work. He leaned over, crossed his arms, and pulled the shirt he slept in up from the bottom edges and over his head. Wa-la! Inside-out.

Then I told him to “stop it!”

Always agreeable, he said, “no problem.” Then he pointed out that our son does the same thing.
