“Life is too short to fold underwear.” Oh, I believed it… I lived it. I never folded my underwear (even if they were actually too small to fold anyway, but honestly, they’re not… okay, some). Why fold underwear when you can be out there smelling the roses?

I’d fold everything else, including my whole family’s underwear. But my own "unmentionables," nah, just tuck them all in the drawer – panties, bras, along with the socks and hankies. Life’s too short.

Then one day, fate blessed me with all the time in the world to wash all the laundry in one day. As I dumped all of my stuff into my underwear drawer, I realized that I had been saving time by not folding my undies, but every time I needed something, I'd spend a lot of time digging into the pile, matching the sets and pairing the socks.

Okay, I said, life may be short, but my life span will become shorter if I have to rummage through this chaotic heap one more time.

So, I poured all the contents of the drawer onto the bed and very gently folded every single piece of lingerie. It became somewhat therapeutic. And what a sense of accomplishment to see my “secrets” drawer finally neat and organized!

Ergo, no, life’s not too short to fold underwear. I say life’s too short to dig into a pile of unfolded intimate apparel.
