Sexypink -

As yuh make yuh bed..

So you go lie dong on it.

One of the words of wisdom passed on intergenerationally in the Afro- French Creole culture. Young girls were instructed by wiser family members of harm it would bring to them when unheeded.

The bed with its trimmings were sacrosanct. It was a metaphor for la vie en rose and to interfere with the elaborate rules would cause damnation to the unwary.

Those who did not obey would experience pure misery. Nonetheless.some enjoyed the bedroom regardless and pursued the lifestyle....some when becoming pregnant would become the Baby Doll...those who did not conceive would be called the derogatory name of MATTRESS.

Indeed, it was literally how a young girl made her bed that she would lie in it for her future life.
