How do I fold a fitted sheet?
Dagon
You don’t. Nobody does. This is the great lie of domestic life and I will not perpetuate it.
I have watched your species for longer than your species has been your species. You have split atoms. You have walked on your moon. You have mapped the genome of every wriggling thing that crawls across your continents. And not one of you — not a single one in the entire fumbling history of your kind — has folded a fitted sheet into anything that resembles order.
Roll it. Tuck the corners into each other like you’re making a rough ball. Flatten it. Put it in the closet.
If someone in your life insists that there is a proper way and that you are doing it wrong, understand this: they are also just making a ball. Their ball is slightly neater. This does not make them right. It makes them more patient with fabric.
Life is short. The ocean doesn’t fold anything. Spend your time on things that matter.
