The rule in our marriage is “last one out of bed makes it up.”
My wife Tanya’s a school teacher and leaves way earlier than I even wake up, so I’m charged with making up the bed.
The problem arises when three of the Fearless Feline Foursome take over Tanya’s side of the bed after she leaves.
I get up and make up only my half of the bed as long as the trio is occupying the other half. Many times I’ll try to make up Tanya’s side, but the cats won’t move, so I leave it as is.
A problem occurs when Tanya comes home. By that time, the cats have abandoned the bed for the couch, so it looks like I’ve only made up my side of the bed and purposely left Tanya’s side rumpled and unmade.
It's not my fault --- blame the cats. Hey, that's not a bad strategy for everything.
