DON'T MAKE YOUR BED!
Today is the
eighteenth of December, 2012 and I really need to comment on
something light and fun, and maybe useful.
It's great to be
at least partially right, once in a while, especially if you're a
kid. I don't know about you, but in my childhood memories I was
always arguing with my mother over making my bed. “Did you make
your bed?” was always asked at the breakfast table. I had the
usual rational objections. I'd never agree with her but of course
I'd do it eventually. And now I'm living with another woman who I
want to please and I'm still making the bed, but with always a bit of
inner rebellion over doing this most needless of tasks.
Guess what.
I've been right all along (in a small way)! I've just been reading
about the millions of very small creepy-crawlies that inhabit our
beds, how they live on our dead and discarded skin flakes and how our
nightly perspiration of about half a liter of water keeps the whole
mini environment going. It turns out that our beds are perhaps the
least healthy place in our homes and we spend a third of our lives in
them! And we carefully and swiftly enclose the whole set-up as soon
as we rise, keeping it all safe, warm and wet. Yuck!
If we would just
mess the bed up, better yet, if we would turn back the blankets and
air it out carefully, the whole system would dry up and we'd be much
better off.
So, kids, you are
right! In some cases it's better to be messy! Here's the answer
you've been searching for, the knowledge you've had all along. But
you still might please your mom by carefully turning back the covers
and making it neat. That way you both will be happy, and maybe even,
more healthy.
Good luck, good
health and good life!
