Pissed

When The Man got his big guvmint check we decided each of us should get something special to make up for not getting anything while we were broke on our ass. I picked a printer, and The Girl decided she wanted a Wii. We've had it a couple of weeks now and it's not too bad. I'm not a big video game person, but it's something to do besides turn into a zombie watching TV. The Man decided he wanted to get a new water bed mattress. We used to have one for a long time, then decided to try something else and got one of those memory foam astronaut beds. He decided maybe his back would feel better if we went back to a water bed.

So, we got a new mattress and filled it up with tap water that felt like ice water. It took 3 days to warm it up enough to sleep on it. Yesterday was the second day on the water bed, and I woke up in a puddle. I'm still not 100% sure what happened. At first I actually thought I might have peed the bed, but the only place my pajamas were wet at was right on my hip. Bone dry everywhere else, so it wasn't me. It wasn't coming from The Man's side of the bed, either, there was just this puddle right between us. The bed didn't seem to be deflating, or leaking. My best guess is the dog peed the bed.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
