Ever since my wife saw they made sheets that were self cooling and self cleaning, she had been yelping that she needed to try them.
I couldn’t understand how a sheet could self clean itself.
There is some dirt and stains that I’m sure a sheet can’t clean. She told me I wasn’t imaginative enough, but my imagination worked overtime sometimes. She told me if I loved her, I would buy the sheets. Even if they weren’t self-cleaning, she would like self-cooling sheets. I was in town a week later, and I saw a small portable air conditioner. It was really cheap so I bought it, along with a child’s playhouse sized washer. I put the air conditioner under the bed, but not back far enough where she wouldn’t see it when she walked in the door. The washing machine was on the other side, along with an instruction sheet entitled; to the sheets. When she walked in the bedroom I heard her smart comment, but she was laughing. She had found the washer before she found the air conditioning unit. I told her her real gift was under my side of the bed. She pulled out the portable air conditioner and asked what that was for? I told her we could turn the air conditioner on before we went to bed, and it would cool the entire bed, and not just the sheets. She slapped my arm and then she burst out laughing. It wasn’t what she asked for, but at least she took it as a joke, and never asked about self-cleaning or self-cooling sheets again.
