If you were paying attention, you have learned to make the bed using the military method (which is detailed in an article at "The Art of Manliness": http://artofmanliness.com/2009/11/19/how-to-make-a-bed-you-can-bounce-a-quarter-off-of/), because I learned from my father, rather than from my mother who was used to rolling up a futon from the floor and sticking it in a closet.
I am in favor of letting the bed air out a bit before making it (and in a related matter, I do not like to sleep in a room that is shut up tight. Either leave a door or a window open. Otherwise, the room will smell raunchy.)
But why make the bed at all? Now that you are adults, I suppose it is a personal preference or just laziness that will dictate what you do. I just need some order in my personal life, as opposed to the disorder out there in the world.
And although you may not care what your friends think, I swear the pest control guy does a more thorough job when he sees a nice neat home.
But perhaps the greatest reason to make the bed is to keep the dust and other creatures out of the bed. So at least pull up the bedspread!
