How to make a bed?

 bed; bedroom

Dear Polite One,

My husband and I can't agree on this one point.  If making a bed with a patterned top sheet, should the top sheet lay with the pattern facing up or down?  I think that it should be down so that when it is turned back the pattern is visible.  

Making the bed

Dear Making the Bed,

Lay the top sheet pattern side down so that the decorative edge is showing (face up) when it is folded back over the blanket.  

The moral of this story is: The wife is always right.  (smile)

Sincerely,

The Polite One

Is He Really Interested or Just Playing the Game?
