I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know how to fold a fitted sheet. That's why the fitted sheet I use for my bed goes from my bed to the dryer and then back again. I have other fitted sheets but they're just sitting in the closet. I have no idea who folded them... most likely Macy's or the Chinese orphans who folded it for Macy's.

I learned to fold them when I was a kid. Thanks Mom!

Direct quote from mom:

"Why the hell would you fold them?"

So they don't get wrinkled.

Why do you care if they are wrinkled? They are just going on the bed.

I asked this of my mom, and grandmother for years. My grandmother would iron sheets.

I still don't understand the concept of making the bed, except that it looks nicer during the day.

And I do know how to fold a fitted sheet.

So, Chris looked up directions on how to fold a fitted sheet. He read them out loud and I chose not to listen, so guess who is folding the fitten sheets from now on?

In case anybody missed it, my link above was to a video demonstraing how to fold a fitted sheet.

I believe the follow up quote from my mom would be "Who the hell cares if a fitted sheet is wrinkled. Sleeping on it is a human iron."

You guys obviously didn't grow up with my mom!

(She also ironed sheets. Towels, too.)

My mother used to iron sheets, but then she discovered that as long as she took the sheets out when they were still damp she could put them on the bed and smooth them out and they would finish drying without wrinkles.

Me - dryer to bed.

This talk of superfluous ironing calls to mind the scene from "The Remains of the Day" where Mr. Stevens cheerfully ironed the pages of Lord Darlington's newspaper.
