make your bed!

Shortly after Mr. J and I tied the knot, Mr. J claimed he didn't know how to make the bed.

It was a "what have I done?" moment in my marriage. I got over it, but still, didn't everyone learn to make their bed by say, age 6?

So he didn't know how to make the bed. Tucking in the sheet corners was a foreign concept altogether. (As was setting the table, I learned later). Doesn't everyone do hospital corners?

There is the sneaking suspicion he only claimed these shortcomings as a way to avoid responsibility. Hmmmm. But, he does mow the lawn, take out the trash, and build shelves. And he did eventually learn how to make the bed. I guess I'll keep him.
