Mama Didn't Raise No Princesses - Saturday 1/20/2007



Well, I probably shouldn't speak for my sister, or for my brothers for that matter. But I, for one, am no princess.

I got up in the dark of the morning to get a glass of water--humidity has been so low here for so long--and when I came back to bed, I discovered I'd been sleeping on this eraser.

It was undeniable. It was right on top of the feather bed, which is on top of the foam, which is on top of the mattress. And it was still warm.

Ahem.

I would like to thank the kernal of corn for stepping in for the pea on such short notice. I couldn't find a pea anywhere around the house.

Not that that apparently means much.

For all I know, there could be dozens under the mattress.

Um,honey, I'd woken up many a time wondering what the hell I was laying on top of.

I realize this post is now "old," and thus a bad place for a comment, but I keep telling my friends about this story. I tell them they need to see the eraser.

As for me, I sometimes make it all the way to the shower before noticing a coin embedded in my leg. Every couple months this happens...

LOL! On the contrary, it's never too late to share a mental image like that coin spinning on the shower grate!
