While I was visiting Jerry and Darlene in 2014, we and Darlene's sister, Ginger, were examining some of the beautiful quilts that Darlene had handmade over the years. One quilt, wrapped tightly in a clear plastic bag, had especially caught my eye and I asked to see it laid out in full splendor. So Jerry and I removed it from the bag, unfolded it, and spread it out for all to view. After a few minutes we proceeded to refold it and return it to its bag. To our dismay, we could not get it entirely back into the bag. I think I recall a few feminine snickers from across the room as Jerry and I tried a second time to fold the quilt to fit the bag, but that attempt also failed. The snickers had now transformed into giggles as Jerry and I, fully recognizing that we were the targets of derisive humor, began to chuckle ourselves and in panic made yet a third intensive, but unsuccessful, attempt to fit that beautiful, but now evil, quilt into the bag. By now hearty laughter by all was in full force, and had it not been for a clue from Ginger to make a certain fold, Jerry and I may never have gotten that quilt back into its bag.
The idea that an ingenious, highly skilled jack-of-all-trades handyman and a supposedly smart, retired science professor together could not refold a quilt to fit its bag was indeed hilarious. What a spontaneously funny and memorably enjoyable event that was!
