How Does She Sleep Like This?!
The other night Alexa said, as I was saying "Good night" and tucking her in to go to sleep, that she had crumbs in her bed because she ate a graham cracker in her bed earlier. I said, "oooh- that's a bummer. We'll wash your sheets, until then . . . have a crummy sleep!!!" And then I laughed all the way down the hall because my jokes are so hilarious.
So I just went into take her sheets off her TWIN sized bed, but first I had to remove the following items:
10 Beanie Boos (stuffed animals).
3 stuffed animals that can also be pillows
3 fleece blankets: 1 is a unicorn snuggly fleece blanket. The other 2 are intended to be throw blankets. (FYI- she has a comforter as well). Please keep in mind we live in North Carolina that is having record high temperatures and it's like living in the jungle. Granted we have a/c, but . . .
1 body pillow
2 regular bed pillows
2 journals
1 flashlight
2 bracelets
5 books
1 finger puppet
1 eraser
1 small silver jewelry box
2 plastic gems
1 trashcan because . . . . I mean- why not? With all the other junk, it only makes sense
I put that child to bed almost every night, how have I not noticed the thrift store she keeps in her bed? When Doug puts Alexa to bed, he lays down with her for a bit, where did he lay down? I laid down with her last night because she had a bad dream, where did I lay down? On my imagination? It felt that way- that's why I only laid there for a few minutes. She probably dreamed that her junk was attacking her. Or it was like that scene in Star Wars A New Hope, when Luke, Chewbaca, Leia, and Hans are stuck in the trash compactor yelling for C-3PO to override the computer so they wouldn't get smashed. Regardless, I have taken all of her belongings out of her bed, and put them away, and her sheets will be all fresh and clean, and maybe she won't have a crummy sleep tonight.
