A Private Message To My Cyberstalker

Unless you are my stalker, this message isn’t for you.  It’s only for my cyberstalker.

The Things You Learn — Second Sheets

Always Sleep on Clean Bedding!

I love learning things, even though it can be a little embarrassing sometimes to learn things much later than one probably should.  You know, things like how babies are made, and such.  The stork angle just made so much sense, even though I now know (thanks to pornography) that it really involves a woman’s stomach.

Anyway, this weekend I learned the purpose of second sheets.  The real purpose, according to this wiki on how to make up a bed neatly, is to provide a barrier between your (or, in this case, my) filthy body and my heavy comforters and blankets simply because it is easier to launder a second sheet than it is to launder heavier bedding.

I was flabbergasted by this.  Truly, I had no idea!  I always just used them in the Spring and maybe early Fall, but as soon as it came time to break out the heavy artillery, I tossed away the second sheet as redundant. Anyway, I know better now, and so do you.

I’ve always known I was fundamentally ignorant in a lot of ways, but I had no idea how ignorant.  So thank God for the Internet.  It’s good for more than just attracting cyberstalkers!  There’s some actual knowledge out here for those of us who don’t go in much for fancy book learnin’.  Whoo hoo!
