Part of the difference is how the pillows are arranges (presentation vs. sleeping) and there's also a difference in how the folding under and tucking in are done.<br /><br />In this case, I think it's more personal than cultural...C.

At bedtime, it's for sleeping in. Both are precise and neat, but they are different. My own lack of mastery over that difference is one reason I'm of little help... lol<br /><br />As to where I've been, mostly just trying to keep my head above water. :)C. N.

But I do love studying languages.<br /><br />@G'Eagle - Thanks!<br /><br />@Frances - There are two makings of the bed. There's one in the morning and another before sleep. She does it, because when I help or do it, it's not really up to snuff, and so it's one of our compromises. I only help her make the bed one specifically asked to do a specific task. lol<br /><br />@TWC - Yay! Glad to make you smile!C. N.
