Reply #5: I Make The Bed Every Day... Except For Sunday...

[arwalden]

... when I change the sheets. But I suppose that technically speaking, I *am* making the bed whenever I put on fresh sheets.

A made-up bed helps even cluttered rooms look not-so-cluttered. And it's much nicer to crawl under covers of a made-up bed (especially a pre-heated bed) compared to getting into an unmade bed with piles of sheets and covers at the foot of the bed.

Blame my mother. As kids we were REQUIRED to make our beds every day. I hated doing it then, it seemed like such a waste. I'd ask her: "Why bother? We're just going to mess it up again tonight!"
