Before a school trip, parents should practice making the bed with their children.
One school even asked for written confirmation.
Munich – Twitter user Petit Brigand recently received a strange parental letter from her daughter.
The mother should confirm in writing that the 13-year-old can move into a bed.
She shared a picture of the letter on Twitter - to the amusement of her followers.
Funny letter to parents: Children are said to have “successfully” practiced making bed covers
According to the mother, the trigger is the upcoming school trip.
Apparently it was very important to the school to practice making the beds before departure.
It is important enough that the parents should confirm in writing to the school that the exercise took place.
To be on the safe side, the school has provided instructions
And if the parents themselves don't really know how to make a bed, the letter also provides brief instructions.
It is:
Unfold the cover and turn it inside out.
Reach into the cover, run your hands into the top two corners and grab the pillow or duvet.
Put the cover over the blanket and shake or pull it down.
An amused comment on it reads: “I would have expected a QR code with a TikTok that shows it EXACTLY... desert of service!” In general, the comments under the post vary from amused to surprised.
“Oh come on.
“Don’t be serious,” writes one user.

Twitter community exchanges experiences: Not every student can make their own bed
There are also some first-hand reports under the post.
However, experiences are very different.
One comment reads: “I worked at the reception of a youth hostel for 5 years.
Not once did a child fail to make their bed.
This isn’t rocket science.”
Another Twitter user, on the other hand, reports an experience that confirms the parents' letter: "When I think about my time at school... I made up some classmates' beds, carried skis, and ate fried chicken." Apparently not all teenagers can use their bed without parental help.
However, none of the commentators have yet thought of sending a letter directly instead of simply pointing it out at the parents' evening.
The consensus in the comments is that the fault in this case lies with the parents.
However, in times when primary schools have to ban “parent taxis” so that children are not driven directly to the school door, this is perhaps not too surprising.
