Maybe you need a structural engineer to make sure every pillow stays in its designated place while nobody's watching.😄

That’s my job I think lol

Those pillows are because you love your wife and they are important to her! You are good man, and Gerald is your rebellious nature coming to forefront saying I will be heard!

Great article!

This reminds me of the movie “Along Came Poly”. There was a whole scene in that movie dedicated specifically for this topic of decoration pillows.

Meh 🫤 if anything, the article points out the pillows are pointless and are only there to beautify an empty room.

Want a marketing idea ?

Sew the pillows onto a bedspread that can be easily rolled up at night and placed back in the morning with everything in place. 😁

or is it 'headlight'?

Ed Whysitfeelsogood's avatar

I have six pillows, I live alone so I only need one. I never make the bed so it never looks 'nice'. The other five just sit there hoping their day will come. I'm sure it will.

Brad Davenport's avatar

You have to rotate the pillows or the five will never experience their moment in the spotlight 😀

Ed Whysitfeelsogood's avatar

or moment in the ‘headlight’?

Brad Davenport's avatar

That as well 😆

I still don’t get the candles. In my youth, candles normally meant someone had not paid their electricity bill and been cut off.

Brad Davenport's avatar

It’s a thing scented candles 😀

John Wilkes's avatar

So is not paying electricity bills, these days.

Brad Davenport's avatar

Well yes that is for sure

What can i say? Just move to germany. We dont have this kind of interesting habbits.

Brad Davenport's avatar

Oh, I bet you do

Vektor7's avatar

Ok. You’re right. But not the pillow ones at least. xD

Brad Davenport's avatar

There's millions of German families with pillows on their beds. I've seen them in the shops in Berlin. Someone must buy them

Vektor7's avatar

You've seen millions of german households? Why haven't you been at my place? Next time you come around! ;)

We put the pillows on our Couchs. Usually there are very few on the beds, exept the ones we sleep on.

Brad Davenport's avatar

Ah I see okay many years since I was in a German home

Spencer Johnson's avatar

How many pillows do we need before I start naming them 😂? Well-written! Keep it up!

Brad Davenport's avatar

Usually that’s left up to the ladies, I believe

My husband and I have somehow non-verbally agreed that we don't even have to make the bed unless people who are not us are going to be in our bedroom. We have exactly 1 decorative pillow and it was made for us by my best friend as a wedding gift.

We probably came to this agreement because every time we visited my mom, we had to remove 12 pillows from the bed to go to sleep. 😄

Brad Davenport's avatar

My wife doesn’t worry about the work involved. She’s manoeuvred me into doing it 😂😂

To avoid any doubt about competences in our house we hung a plate at a very visible point, saying "mum's the boss".

That gave clarity over pillows, blankets, spoons, switching the lights, etc. not to list the whole catalogue here...

Brad Davenport's avatar

Always a good idea in every household to clear that up at the earliest convenience lol

Paul Chiddicks's avatar

Just move one a day, see if she notices......

Brad Davenport's avatar

Sees all, knows all and what she doesn’t know she makes up

Paul Chiddicks's avatar

They are like pillow Ninja’s……..

Brad Davenport's avatar

Yes an apt description 😀

Geoff's avatar

Hilarious and a widespread peculiarity, all those pillows and cushions that never truly serve a function. The thing is if someone actually complimented you on the wonderful pillow display you would recoil in horror and demand an explanation. Like immediately.

Brad Davenport's avatar

Haha that’s very true. 😀

Your humor always makes me laugh. It's a wonderful gift!

Brad Davenport's avatar

Thank you you’re very kind 🙏

Fragments and the Dark's avatar

Hahaha! 😂😂 That is awesome! 🙂

Brad Davenport's avatar

Thank you 🙏

Ken Smith's avatar

I feel your pain.

Brad Davenport's avatar

Ahh a fellow sufferer 😬

Ken Smith's avatar

Don’t get me started on the stuffed animals.

“NO, Mr. Fluffy does not get put next to Mrs. Philby! They hate each other”.

Sigh. They’re all crazy, but mine is harmless. Mostly.

Brad Davenport's avatar

lol I know exactly what you mean
