Husband attempts to make bed for first time in 45 years - and it does not go well

Living

Jim Sterling from Manson, Washington recently retired from his job as the manager of a hardwood floor company.

The 66-year-old has thus been at home with his wife Joanne a lot more and she thought it was about time he helped out a bit more.

She asked her husband to "pull his weight" around the house, starting with making the bed in the morning.

This was the first time Jim had attempted to make the bed in around 45 years and it's fair to say that it did not go very well.

Joanne was left in hysterics when she went into the room and saw that he had clearly been baffled by all of the cushions and pillows.

Instead of placing them neatly on the bed, Jim had stacked all of the pillows in a pile up against the headboard.

He proceeded to do quirky things with the pillows for the next few days as well.

Joanne was so amused by his antics that she decided to share them on social media, where they were re-shared by the couple's daughter, Jessy.

The posts quickly garnered around 20,000 likes, comments and shares, with many people loving Jim's bed making fails.

However, instead of being embarrassed by the response online, Jim decided to make the bed in even more elaborate ways, to get more likes.

He began creating bigger displays on the bed each morning, adding all sorts of items, including an inflatable flamingo.

Joanne said: "His designs are funny, but honestly, I'm just so happy he is making the bed every morning.

"He doesn't tell me about what he's done, he just leaves it as a surprise for me when I walk into the bedroom.

"The bed stays this way until we go to bed, and I giggle every time I pass by it.

"My favourite was the very first one because it made me laugh so hard. It keeps us both in a good mood.

"I couldn't believe the interest his little creations have had. I guess other couples can just relate to a husband not knowing what he's doing around the house."

She added: "Now he thinks he's famous, I think it's starting to egg him on. He has even started incorporating props like teddies and even an inflatable flamingo."?
