My sweet wife and I had an unexpected amount of fun this week, folding our clothes and tidying our bureau drawers. She has always taken great pride in her womanly ability to fold and tidy a linen closet and her drawers already were in pretty good shape. Mine, not so much, I mean what do you do with winter-weight pantyhose and tights?
So I went on line for advice about folding and storing clothes, and on YouTube found videos starring Marie Kondo, the superstar of tidying up. She has a clothes-folding method that really works, which i’ll deacribe in more detail in another thread under Shopping and Beauty. I tried her method on my socks-and-stockings drawer, it came out super neat with unexpected space to spare. I was so excited, I couldn’t wait to show my wife, and that evening we Searched on YouTube for “Marie Kondo folding’” videos and watched them all. Then today we both dumped out all our bureau drawers, folded the clothes Konmari’s way, tossed a lot of stuff that didnt give us joy, and just purely enjoyed ourselves doing that together on a snowy indoor afternoon.
We have done this sort of thing before, where she initiates me into a corner of the female world, and helps me learn the womanly household arts. It’s another way she has fun with my cross dressing, with the bonus of a tidy house and less work for her. So I wonder whether any of you have learned to fold clothes with Marie Kondo, and whether it’s something your wife might warm to doing with you.
