Why get a mattress pad??

Attention:

This blog is dedicated to my mattress-pad loving Mother. My all knowing, amazing, crystal ball reading Mother. Once upon a time my mother complained about my bedding, or lack there of. I then publicly mocked her theory of a mattress pad here, on my blog. I am saying it now. Now! Loud and clear. I WAS WRONG, MOM! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

Tonight I came home from work and discovered that yes indeed I too needed a mattress pad. Why you ask? Let me tell ya -- BECAUSE MY CAT BARFED ALL OVER MY BED. I know...I know.... you're thinking "She what?!" She BARFED.....B.A.R.F.E.D. IN-MY-BED. The barf went through the sheet, through the next layer of sheet (Layer #2 = flannel sheet my Mother forced me to use in absence of an actual mattress pad) and on to my comfy-cozy, one of a kind, hand-me-down mattress. GROSS! Gagging, I just kept peeling back layers and layers of bedding. Picking at the raw kitty puke with wads of Kleenex. Ick-E! A sad lesson has been learned here today, people. Note: Do Not Doubt Your Mother.

kudos to mom, that might be what you get for the mockery and the doubting of your mother's great knowledge(must have had a similar incident happen)
just remember all well, maybe most, moms know and act with great wisdom, even if they occasionally throw out the coat

Mattress pads are essential, epescially with pets and children, they also make the mattress much more comfy. May i suggest a Plastic mattress cover, which covers your entire mattres in a thin sheet of plastic. This is wonderful for puke, pee, poop and the accidental spill in bed. We used this when the kitties had bathroom issues. Mom is always right. I just heed her warnings now, because I would rather be a momma's girl than have to hear "i told you so" later.

This was absolutely hilarious. Mattress pads are an important to protect your mattress investment. Very very important!

Do you remember when you asked if you could take the mattress pad off Gabby's bed because it made lots of noise and it made you hot?
