"Hey! I don't know about you, but I hate making my bed and my kids making their bed too. Oh, wait a minute. I don't have any kids, but if I did have kids, they would hate making their beds. I'm sure all of the adults out there, you hate making your bed too. Well, here's what I came up with and it goes all the way back to my childhood. You can make this into a game for your kids. Maybe the first one to do it the fastest gets to sit in the front seat. Kids hate sitting in the back in their car seats and all. Anyway, it's called stretch and slide. Here's how you start. You're going to start my stretching the sheets all the way up as far as they go all the way to the left and all the way to the right. Then slide your way out ever so gently and see who can do it the fastest. Look, the bed's made. Walla! Try this at home with your kids. Maybe reward them if they get it done the fastest or if they're consistent and do it every day. That's stretch and slide."
