Mine!

I got into bed last night only to discover someone had stolen my pillow. I first checked downstairs and didn't find it. Then I checked the next likely place, Marissah's room. She's been known to steal pillows from every other member of this household, but not this time. Micah's room was my next stop, but it wasn't there either. That left Aaron, my littlest Heathen. Now, I wouldn't expect Aaron, of all my kids, to steal my pillow because he is very attached to his own pillow. Well, actually it's not the pillow he's attached to, but the pillowcase, or pillowsheet, as he calls it. He just adores my gray Martex 250-thread count pillowcases. Go figure.

As I entered his room I saw what had happened right away. Aaron did have my pillow.....because I had the other gray Martex 250-thread count pillowcase on it. Well, of course, he wasn't going to let me have that pillow. He insisted it was his own, even after I went downstairs and got his real pillow from the living room. No way, no how. I even tried a behind-the-back trick, but he wasn't fooled. He told me his pillow was warm and he wasn't taking the cold one. Sheesh.

Finally, I did what any sane mother would do. I waited until he fell asleep and pulled my pillow right out from under his sweet, sleeping head. Never fear, I left his pillow for him, but I'll be damned if anyone's stealing my pillow. Not even my kids.
