Ironed sheets and towels?! What, don't these people have a television??

You have to remember that my monm is "old school". She grew up in the depression and went on to be a typical 50's mom.

That's why the called it "The Depression" - everyone was depressed because they had no life due to all of the towels they had to iron.

I saw the video, I had a fitted sheet - there was something about tucking corners that I thought I was following but I ended up with a triangle. So I rolled in and dropped it on the pile of folded linens. I think the video is a trick and they swap in a normal sheet halfway through

I guess I need to teach a class.

I'm late to this ... but I actually bookmarked the video on how to fold fitted sheets. It's been the bane of my existence and I can't wait to master the arcane skill.

I have a random though to add:

* Making the "bzzzzzt" noise when someone is working on something to do with electricity is never funny. And not in the "that's too serious of a matter to joke about" kind of not funny way. In the "That's such an old and obvious and patently stupid" kind of not funny way......and yet we're all compelled to do it.

I know how to fold a fitted sheet. I watched the link above and thought it was poorly edited, even though that's exactly how I do it.

This lady is a pro. I have to try her method.

I suggest those that are struggling should watch the many videos out there to get an idea. It's one of those things you have to muddle through yourself until you get it.
