"You've got to know when to fold 'em."

"How to Help Your Mom: Lesson One"
by Jack Everett G.

First, meticulously lay out an item from the clean pile.

Second, tightly roll the item from the bottom.

Carefully carry the "folded" item.

Finally, line them up in perfect order along the loveseat.

I have found that Daddys usually prefer that you roll one sock at a time, and sort them with the dish towels.

Then, repeat steps. And repeat steps. And repeat steps.

On a final note, if you find nice laundry piles where Mom has folded clothing in a crisp square-like fashion and sorted it nicely by type, feel free to unfold it all, put it all back into one big pile to "re-fold" each item as I have done here. This saves her a lot of time and is a big help.

"Stay tuned for "How to Help Your Mom: Lesson Two" where I show you how to squirt a bottle of blue foaming hand soap to clean the bathroom rugs. You won't want to miss this sure-fire way to help Mom."

I will make sure Alli makes note of this. Her methods for "folding" clothes are not nearly as neat. Really more of just bunching it up in a ball that comes undone as soon as she lets go of it. Wait, maybe I won't let Alli take lessons from Jack's rolling method 'cause at least I don't have to unroll before I refold :-)This is hillarious- that boy is funny!
