We’re all in a dither ’round here, getting everything ready for Piper, our little Easter break visitor. She arrives Sunday afternoon and we just realized that our old “balloon bed” (air mattress) is kaput and we need to buy a new one. It will not do to just have her sleep on the couch. Oh no. She loves her balloon bed. Talks about it to others. Literally. Her balloon bed is actually a topic of general conversation for her. With anyone. She simply assumes you will be interested to discuss this air mattress with her and somehow, when she talks about it, you just are.
An air mattress isn’t just an air mattress, you know.
It’s a balloon bed and it is the greatest thing in the world.
See? She is probably thinking about her balloon bed in this picture.
You can usually get good deals on Aero Beds at BB and B or Linens and Things. (And they split your infinitives free of charge!)
NF — Good. I like to really get my split infinitives free of charge.
Target has cheap ones, too. I think that’s where we’re headed.
Oh, yeah–if the Target thing doesn’t pan out the only thing left to do is turn the couch over, convince her it’s a boat, and hope for the best.
(Was that funny? I’ve started and restarted writing my darn paper so many times I can’t tell anymore. Hope it was funny and I didn’t offend anybody.)
I’m sure no matter what happens you all will have a blast!
Kate P — You’re funny. And cute.
