Colored Underwear
Yvette and I have been married over 14 years and I still can’t explain sorting her colored underwear.
This evening, after dinner I grabbed the hamper and started sorting the dirty clothes to prepare for the weekend wash. For the most part, sorting clothes follows some logical rules. All of the towels and washcloths, regardless of color, go in one pile. Yvette’s work clothes, again regardless of color, go in another pile so she can wash them on gentle cycle (I think). The whites, lights and darks each go in their respective piles.
Then comes the underwear. There are different rules for my underwear versus Yvette’s underwear.
My underwear follows the general color rules. My white underwear goes in the whites, my grey underwear goes in the lights, and my black underwear goes in the darks.
However, Yvette’s underwear does not follow any of the previous rules.
Instead, her white, nude, rose, red, blue and black underwear goes in the whites. It doesn’t matter the color, they all go in the whites.
This is her rule and just like all rules in marriage, I follow them which helps to explain 14 years of happy marriage.
That is bizarre…Danielle at least follows some rules that I can understand. Washing them is all done in warm or hot (depending on if it is dark or light). However, the drying is something that I still have not figured out. If they are cotton they can dry in the dryer. If they are satin or lace, they must air dry. That part is easy enough but, there are a lot of her underwear that are a mixture of satin, lace, and/or cotton but the percentage of the components does not seem to factor into the drying decision. I have to do a lot of asking or explaining.
