This being labour day I thought it fitting to write about making the bed, since for males it is no simple matter as the other half of the population makes it look.

I faithfully make my bed every day as nothing makes a house look more messy than an un-made bed. Here are some things I learned:

• Fitted sheets never stay fitted.

• The fancy strip (stripe) on the sheet goes to the top and is to be folded down to look pretty. Not on the bottom sticking out under the bed spread as I had assumed.

• The better a bed spread looks, the more slippery it is.

• You will never get the bed spread on even the first try.

• The fancy frilly skirt around the bottom is designed to p*$$ me off when I vacuum. The only part that does its job very well.

• Some pillow cases are made just to look good, like head stones in the daytime, not for sleeping on.

• No matter how carefully you pick it up, the bed spread will always be cross ways or upside down when you make the bed. It cannot be picked up head end up.

• The tags go inside the pillow case first. After all you can't take them off. It says very plainly: "Do Not Remove This Tag."

• Pillows always are, or seem to be, two inches longer than the pillow case.

• The wrinkle is always on the other side of the bed, never next to where you are standing.

• When you are finished, if the bed spread is straight, the bed is crooked. If the bed stayed straight, the bed spread is crooked.

How was your labour day?
