You’ve made your bed, now lie in it

Peter has a point. I have a couple of games that involve cleaning and home renovations. It’s much easier to sit on your butt and pretend to do it in a game than it is actually doing it in real life.

It’s virtually finished Mom!

Extra bonus if you unlock the shoeshine level.

Why don’t Peter just go to a friend’s house to play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City?

I don’t get the making your bed thing. Well, I did rebuild my parents’ bed as it was falling apart, but the bedding thing is ridiculous. I haven’t made a bed since the service.

Why don’t Peter’s mother buy him The Sims, and Sim City 3,000? Or how about Tropico?

My mother was a “cleany” and my bed had to be made every day. Now they say that a made-up bed is actually unhealthy as it traps mites and other nasties under the covers….it’s better to leave it open. If Mom only knew.

Get off the game and go make your bed for real, Peter.

It just needs a little more action, like duking it out with kitchen utensils

So it’s just living like an everyday person.

I’m glad this series is continuing into another week, it’s delightfully absurd.

My bed is made… by Ikea.

Very clever arc…

And just about impossible to accomplish as well!

Wishing you a meaningful Martin Luther King Day.

heh, malicious compliance in the form of a console game. Though in all seriousness this sounds like a “dad game” you know what I mean, a chore simulator like powerwash simulator or farm simulator, all of the simulators
