The war of the sheets

My husband and I are encountering what must be an age old problem in the bedroom: to tuck or not to tuck?

I happen to like my bed covers tucked in at the foot of the bed. It keeps my feet from getting cold, and keeps the covers in a tidy manner, so you don't end up with too much sheet and not enough blanket, and vice versa. It is very handy for making the bed in the morning.

My husband is a huge proponent of leaving things untucked. He says he likes to coccoon himself in the covers, which if you ask me, is quite rude and selfish for someone who shares a bed. His feet work of their own free will to untuck the bed throughout the night, and inevitably I will wake up with cold feet. Why? Because the bed is untucked!

We came to a compromise, I tuck my side of the bed and leave his untucked, but that never works, because somehow those busy feet find their way to untucking my side of the bed. I'm getting tired of waking up with cold feet, especially now that winter is coming.

I'm not sure what a girl is supposed to do, or if we will ever find a peaceful solution to this problem. But for now, it is all out war! We'll see how hubby likes it when I short sheet the bed...
