In the early morning hours of June 21, while most Americans slept, a battle was raging for supremacy. Across the vast battlefield that served as a bed, two people were in a life and death struggle for the sheets. One was insisting on having it all, and one only asked for his fair share. It was your typical battle of good vs. evil, Armageddon, life and death!
TLW (The Little Woman) and yours truly, carried the battle for hours, silently vowing retaliation and destruction upon one another in due course for sheet supremacy!
Her: “You need to walk around the block! You didn’t walk yesterday.”
“OK, but why do you say that?”
Her: “Because you didn’t sleep last night.”
“No, I didn’t. How did you know?”
Her: Because you kept me awake. You took all the sheets!”
“Wait a minute. YOU were the one taking ALL the sheets! You had the side of the sheet that hangs over the bed on my side, in your hands, and you were pulling it. I was sitting there in the dark in my shorts, fighting for my very life, and you, with one foot in my chest, the other in my side, with both hands on the side of the sheet, my side, was pulling with all your might! I still have the foot marks in my chest!”
Her: “You need to walk!”
“Look, let me show you what I’m saying. You should have north tucked under your chin, south over your feet, and east on your right and west on your left. That is how the bed is made. I sleep on your left, but you had west in your hands, in a death grip!”
Her: (With a sheepish grin on her face) “You need to walk!”
Being a good husband, means never having to say: “Hey, give me some sheet!”
Please remember all those that need our prayers, including my brother-in-law, John.
