Puzzle Description:

I taught my young son how to fold his shirts: fold in half, and if you want, fold in half again. He would fold it in 1/2, then take each side and fold again, turn over and fold, then turn it over again, making slight adjustments at every turn and fold. A total mess but I never said a word. When he was 20, I asked him why he did that. He said That's how you taught me to fold paper airplanes. AND he really was folding his clothes into "paper airplanes". So I guess I can fold a paper airplane and raise a creative child, but not draw a puzzle of a paper airplane. Maybe if I drew a shirt, it would look like a paper airplane.

but the question is Sarah, CAN Mr. B fold an airplane?

I don't know.

O.K. Sarah,so the image isn't graphically accurate but the story is very cute.What a great mom.Niki taught our son J-D (8 yr old) to fold his clothes,J-D is a little on the meticulous side,it takes him forever to fold 1 shirt and it was basically a waste of time cause he ends up stuffing them in his drawer helter skelter and messes them up.

Cute story, but the puzzle confused the heck out of me.

thank you immensely for the clarifying puzzle description

Cute story about J-D, Aldege. I didn't realize how difficult making the puzzle would be. I tried several times and never did find one that looked right.

I agree the puzzle needed some clarification.. but the story made it worth it. My youngest son has a weird way of folding clothes too. I think I'll ask him if he's trying to make paper airplanes. My oldest son is really into origami so I'm sure he could teach his little brother some interesting folds.

Another great story! Who cares what the picture looks like? :D

Thanks for the cute story. :)
