Thanks, Martha

For almost three years I have had to endure mocking from Dave over the way I make the bed. Tonight was no different. We changed the sheets and as we were putting on the top sheet I noticed that the hem stitching was face down on the bed. I was taught growing up that the hem should face up so that when you fold down the sheet over the blanket the hem touches the blanket and the sheet presents itself right side up. Dave has other ideas. Every time we make the bed I insist that we flip the sheet according to the way "I" like it. Of course, whenever he makes the bed without me, he makes it his way.

Tonight we had a long "discussion" about the proper way to make a bed and he said that he would leave me alone about it if I could find two sources that back up my position. Well, I did and even Martha Stewart is on my side. From her website, "DO YOU KNOW? The top sheet always goes wrong side up. That way when you fold it back over the blanket, the right side—the decorative, printed side—will show." Thank you, Martha!
