"What's up, Mama?"
"Just wondering if you have any idea of why Dad's pillows, along with one of the extra blankets, are on your chaise?"
"Actually... I was just about to ask you the same thing... that's SO weird!"
"So you know nothing, then?"
"Nope. Guess Dad must have just decided to sleep over there instead of here... good thing I'm as comfortable here on your bed as I am on my chaise, which heeee took over, so you wouldn't feel lonely, huh Mama?!"
"I think there might be more to the story than you're telling me because I know, for fact, that we tucked you into your own chaise last night... Did you maybe wake up in the night to get a drink, or to make a bathroom run?"
"Welllll, I did have to go to the bathroom at three o'clock buuuut... I got Dad up to take me so you could sleep! That was thoughtful of me, right??"
"Totally."
"You're welcome!"
"Still doesn't explain why you slept up here and it appears your dad slept over there..."
"Well... I just thought I should be thoughtful to Dad, too... y'know, like I was thoughtful to you....."
"So, it was 'thoughtful' to take his spot?"
"No, not 'take'... waaaarrm... I was warming Dad's spot for him."
"So, what happened?"
"Ummm... he took too long?"
"Are you asking me?"
"No. He definitely took too long! I mean, how long does it take to lock a door and set an alarm that's like TWELVE steps away from the beeedddd???"
"So, you fell asleep while 'warming' and left no room on the bed for Dad."
"How should I know what happened next? You JUST said it... I was asleeeeep by then!!!"
"You're going to take no responsibility, at all... are you?"
"Why would I take any responsibility?? Look at my chaise! I didn't put that mess there... so, why should IIIiiiiii have to sleep in it??!"
"Not an ounce of remorse either, I see?"
"Remorse?? Hey... if that chaise is good enough for me then it's good enough for Dad!"
"Greyhounds are so unreasonable... grumble, grumble....."
