paperweights

they're like paperweights, the way they anchor my blankets and keep me from rolling around at night. one, two, three. if i want to get up in the middle of the night, i ease myself out from under the blankets, scrunching myself slowly towards the headboard and then climbing over pillows to reach the floor. but it never works. as i come stumbling out of the bathroom they're unfailingly waiting for me outside the door.

Yes, but then you have a bathroom door. Not being similarly blessed, I find they have figured out that if I'm in there, I'm trapped and they can have their wicked way with me.

I have to say, I am so impressed that you actually CLOSE the bathroom door - perhaps I am lacking in some important sensibility...
