Laundry is fun!

Folding laundry. These two words strike fear into the hearts of children. Not for being unpleasant, but for being *low chord invoking terror* — monotonous. There is nothing quite so mind-numbing as hanging clothes, folding clothes, sorting clothes, matching socks, and all those nasty little necessary things. But (and you knew that was coming, you smart readers, you!)...there *are* a couple ways to help.

1. Make it a race

Or

2. Imagine yourself the long-lost heir of a king, forced to do chores by an evil jailor/stepmother/overlord/whatever, and therefore you must show your royal heritage by never complaining. (This doesn't much help unless you also imagine all the wonderful adventures you are going to have after you escape. And no, the evil jailor is not your mother.) A way to enhance this is to play heroic music like Chariots of Fire, Braveheart, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Jupiter by Holst, The Last Samurai, or Hallelujah by Handel or Michael Card.

Or

3. Pretend you are not doing laundry. I like to sing along loudly to some favorite music.
