Thoughts While Making the Bed

It’s sometimes funny what thoughts come into a person’s head while performing mundane activities. Today was ‘wash the bedclothes’ day and a few atypical thoughts entered my head…

• When you find that the surface of your blankets obey a hitherto unknown branch of non-Euclidean geometry, it’s time to get new sheets.
• The pinnacle of bed-making technology may be the variable friction sheet set. When you’re making the bed, friction is your enemy to an extent as it keeps the upper layers from sliding freely around and tends to muss the bottom layers while the top layers are being adjusted. When you’re in bed, friction is your friend as it keeps you from sliding onto the floor at the slightest movement. Obviously, the only answer is variable friction fabrics. Someone go invent that.
• Why is it that the second you have the bedclothes in the washer someone will instantly want to take a nap? There’s a similar rule when cleaning the toilet but nobody gets to do any sleeping.
