Bunk Beds Change, People Don’t
Summary:
Reflecting on a childhood move from Cedar Rapids to Chicago, the author shares the experience of adapting to a new city and sharing a room with a younger brother. Through the lens of bunk beds, they explore the lessons learned and how these experiences resonate with their own children today.---
I vividly remember the day my family moved from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Chicago. At ten years old, I was brimming with excitement to explore the city. My father had received a promotion at his bank, and we were trading the comfort of our home for an apartment on Michigan Avenue. Driving into the city felt surreal. Despite missing my friends, I was captivated by the adventure ahead. But, this excitement was soon tempered by the news that I’d be sharing a room with my younger brother.
Hearing this was like a death sentence for my sophisticated ten-year-old self. I was convinced I was on the cusp of manhood and dreaded sharing my personal space with my younger, less worldly sibling. Today, I appreciate the experiences we shared, but back then, I’d have preferred a root canal. Though we didn’t often get along, I adjusted to the situation. However, I never got used to the bunk bed.
Our battles over who would claim the top bunk were fierce, but once I secured it, I felt like the ruler of a miniature kingdom. Sadly, my “throne” was uncomfortable, and my brother wasn’t thrilled with his space either. That bunk bed creaked and swayed with every movement, and the mattresses felt like stone. By the time I left for the military at eighteen, the army beds seemed luxurious in comparison.
Now, years later, I have two boys of my own. A recent addition to our family led my wife and me to have them share a room. Remembering my own less-than-fond experiences, I was determined to find a more comfortable bunk bed for them. To my delight, I discovered a wonderful manufacturer offering beds with storage, full-sized mattresses, and sturdy construction. After careful consideration, I brought home a model that promised restful sleep.
As soon as the bed was set up, the age-old battle for the top bunk began. Watching my sons argue over who would be king of the hill brought a smile to my face. Even though they don’t always see eye to eye, they now enjoy a good night’s sleep. I’m grateful that bunk beds have changed because boys certainly haven’t.
