When we returned, he turned the pillow cover back, and his mark was still there, proving that the sheets hadn't been changed. He believed me at first, since I was his big sister, but by the time he was 12, he got suspicious.ĭuring one of our trips, he decided to test this by making a mark on his pillow cover with a pen and turning the pillow cover inside out before we left for sightseeing the next morning. Around the time my brother and I were old enough to stay in a room by ourselves (our parents would stay in another one, usually across the hall), he also became a bit of a germaphobe.Īt the time, I actually believed hotels changed the sheets on the beds daily, so when my brother fretted about the cleanliness of the hotels, I reassured him they were fine.
My family went on a lot trips when I was young, and we always stayed in hotel rooms.
