The Pillow Fight


Remember that birthday party when you were 10 and there was a bottle of jelly beans and you had to guess how many jelly beans are in the bottle? Yeah it's kind of like that only substitute pillows for jelly beans and make your best guess. In the event of a tie, how many of the pillows in the picture are allowed to fulfill their destiny? According to Websters dictionary a pillow is defined as "a bag or case made of cloth that is filled with feathers, down, or other soft material, and is used to cushion the head during sleep or rest." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse pillow

Lets make a list of Pro's and Con's to having more pillows on your bed than dollars in your checking account. I'm not saying that we're broke, I'm just saying that unfortunately Chase Mortgate does not accept pillows as a form of payment.

Pro: they are great targets for landing on when you are six and want to jump off the top of the bed frame.



Con: Touching the pillows sends you to timeout, and if your 3 year old brother just so happens to be hiding amongst the pillows and you land on him when you jump, well he should no better than to actually touch the pillows.









Pro: When Dad is home and in charge he doesn't care if kids play with the pillows

















Con: When Mom comes home children are no longer allowed to touch the pillows


















Pro: Pillows cause very little physical damage when thrown, left on the floor, jumped on or used as weapons in the kiddo's favorite game, "Beat Down Daddy"

















Con: Pillows cause large psychological damage and lead to a very upset Aubree when pillows are used for anything besides looking at.

















Pro: With so many pillows on the bed Aubree doesn't even know where I sleep at night.
Con: The Pillows have spread to the couch.
