Whited Sepulcher

Jana just came in to give me a kiss goodbye as she heads for work.

We have a rule in our marriage.  Not really a rule, a tradition, really.  No, on second thought, it's a rule.  "The last one up makes the bed."  Most of the time that's Jana but today it was me.

As she kissed me goodbye this morning she said with a smile, "You made the bed like a 'whited sepulcher'."

Me: blank stare.

Then I finally got it.  "Oh, was the sheet under the bedspread wrinkled?"

"More like wadded up." Giggle.

 I love Jana's lilting giggle.  Her gentle teasing keeps me grounded.  That's a loving thing, by the way.

Well, I'd better go remake the bed. 

PS  Actually the kitty likes a lumpy bed.  She can find fluffy places.
