 I accidentally let a giant wasp in the house

Me: grabs leaf blower, opens windows, blows wasp out. 
Me: "that was pretty genius"

My wife: "well, you did let it in"

🪦 
 under appreciated rapid response! 
 part of why I married her 
 Fold a fitted sheet if you want her to be impressed 
 no one has ever done that successfully 
 Certainly not me 😂 
 I found a way actually. I can literally do it https://media1.tenor.com/m/46dxApXEHh0AAAAd/smug-daniel-craig.gif 
 proof of fold? 
 Nice try FED 
 currently unfed actually 
 That seems #zapworthy 
 wtf you better teach me 
 I’ll try to use textual wards even though is hard to explain (cc @5c508c34 bc i was jk sorry, also eat something)

1) spread it out upside-down, as in the elastic part is on top
2) tidy it up so that the sewn corners are the actual corners of what’s laying there before you
3) grab the two corners near you that are narrower so your t rex arms can reach
4) pull it towards you/upwards so as to slide the opposite to corners closer by halfway
5) fold it in half/forwards so that those corners land right on the far corners and pinch them together
6) from there you have a clean rectangle and it’s pretty easy
7) 💦 
 thank you nofoldy 💛 
 I will let you know when I try this if I need more help, but thank you 🫂🫂🫂🫂
