So trivia question....do you make your bed each day.
I was making our bed this am and had a flashback when i pulled the blanket square. When Linda makes it she is not as particular as me about it.
Guess they got to me for life when i was 17 and did my basic training in SA army
So i wondered with many ex vets here did and does US military have guys do the crazy things we had to do during basics. Specifically related to bed making we had to get the edge of our bed square. Yup go figure.
So how do you do it?
Well we were shown to take a shaving brush (that is after you have made the most perfect bed possible) then as if you were shaving wipe soap on the curved edge.
Then take your "dixies" two aluminium rectangular shaped dishes with wire fold round handles, and beat the two sides towards each other. Totally absurd it worked. The ridiculous part was as a result we never slept in the bed which had to be ready for inspection each morning. Yet if you got caught sleeping on floor you could get charged with damaging government property. Go figure.
Just imagine how it freaks me out to see my sons room when he is home and does not make his bed.
Some crazy stuff never leaves you. lol.
now go make your bed lol.
