What does it mean to be crumpled up?

Being crumpled up means you’re all squished and folded together like a messy paper ball.

Imagine you have a piece of paper, nice and flat. Now, if you scrunch it in your hands and make it into a small, wiggly ball, that’s what being crumpled up feels like. You're not stretched out or straight anymore; you’re all bunched together.

Think of a sock that’s been left in the washing machine too long. It gets all twisted and wrinkled, right? That’s like being crumpled up, you’re not smooth or neat; you're all folded and bent.

If you look closely at something that's crumpled up, you can see lots of little folds and creases. It’s like the paper (or sock) has been squeezed from all sides, making it feel soft, bumpy, and a bit wobbly when you touch it.

So next time you see something messy and folded, maybe even yourself if you're playing on the floor, remember: that's just being crumpled up!
