Before I say what I'm going to say, let me remind you I have OCD.

I have somehow managed to misplace two pillowcases that go with my favorite set of sheets. I have torn apart my room looking for these damn things. My daughter came downstairs to help me. I can't find them. I don't ever take them out of my room. I'm totally mystified, aggravated, and pissed off. Where the hell are my pillowcases? What did I do with them?

How can I lose pillowcases?

@Cosmichomicide @Oma_Trisha

Oh boy, don’t be asking Oma T about her fitted sheets.

Or folding of aforementioned thereto. 😆

@InUnfunky @Oma_Trisha

I can fold a fitted sheet without breaking a sweat. One grandmother was all flats and hated slipcovers (what she called fitted). The other loved them. They both insisted on a tidy linen closet.

That said, I have personally made the pillowcases up in the bed (mostly while trying to work around cats), so figured it was worth a check. 🛏️

@Cosmichomicide @Oma_Trisha

Well then I’ll pester you (for the arcane knowledge) instead of Oma T. But the wheels might’ve already been set in motion…😎

@InUnfunky @Oma_Trisha

Know those documentaries about obscure cultural traditions being kept alive by a small group of knowledge keepers passing it to a carefully curated new cohort? (cue soaring music, women in whimsical clothing)

Per Cosmic Jr, it's like that. 😂

@Cosmichomicide @Oma_Trisha

Okay, so folding once then rolling into a tube-shaped atrocity it is. 👍👍

@InUnfunky @Oma_Trisha

It wouldn't pass muster here, but it's not like either the sheet nor the made bed suffer any aesthetic or functional loss from such mistreatment.

Your linen closet, however, will be an unspeakable horror. 😱

@Cosmichomicide @InUnfunky

A place for everything, and everything in its place. Especially in the linen closet.

@Cosmichomicide @Oma_Trisha

Still giggling at “aesthetic or functional loss” btw. 🤓

@InUnfunky @Cosmichomicide

My own damn daughter is just as bad as you, and I taught her how to fold fitted sheets. 🤓

@Cosmichomicide @InUnfunky

Kinda like inheriting Granny's old cast iron skillet? 🤣🤣

@InUnfunky @Cosmichomicide

You're an instigator.

And an agitator.

You remind me of my kids. 🤭

@Cosmichomicide @InUnfunky

I don't know why people get all agitated about folding fitted sheets. I learned to do it when I was 10 years old. These people can code, but they can't fold a damn sheet? 🤣🤣🤣

I've found pillow cases folded up in the fitted sheets from time to time, but never made one up in the bed. I did it with a sock a few times, though.

@InUnfunky @Cosmichomicide

I unfolded the other two fitted sheets. There was nothing inside them. I unfolded the other two flat sheets, also. There was nothing inside them, either.

This is how dedicated I am to funding my fucking pillowcases.

Smartass. 🤪🤪

@Cosmichomicide

Since I just put them on yesterday, no. That's when I started getting frustrated because I couldn't find the pillow cases to go with this specific set of sheets, which happens to be my favorite. I had to use pillowcases that don't match.

No laughing. I will hear you.
