I used to believe when I was four that when my parents said,"make your bed" that they meant that I really had to make a duplicate of my bed. At first, I didn't know what to do. Then when my parents found me in my room with nails, a hammer,a saw, and wood trying to make my bed they had to explain that MAKING a bed means fixing the sheets not actually making one.
