    I think it was the late Sir Terry Pratchett who observed that cliches were the screwdrivers and pliers in the toolbox of communication. ;-}

    Ruthie is very logical. I have to agree with her that this particular saying doesn’t make sense.

    Or “as you sow, so shall you reap”. They’re basically the same. In fact, if you don’t take the time to make up a decent bed, you’ll be sleeping in a bed with the sheet too short on one side, untucked at the end, and the covers not reaching to your chin.

    How did “make the bed” come about, anyhow? It’s just arranging what someone else made, long ago.
