Sheets

What ho!

I was telling my big sister Mary just now that I need to buy a new mattress pad for my bed. HI MARY! Anyway, I'd like to clarify that it's not because I made a mess of my last mattress pad. I am a fully certified potty trained adult. It's just that it's all stretched out and is always slipping off my mattress and making huge lumps under me while I'm trying to get my ruddy sleep, so it's really annoying.

Mary also told me I should get a top sheet for my bed. She knows that because today she was an Awesome Human Being and made my bed and cleaned my room while I was at school and it was Awesome. I'd like to assure her that I plan on getting a top sheet, and I also have another set of sheets that has both a top and a bottom sheet, but they're in the wash right now.

When I was about five or six? I don't remember. But Mary and I decided to sleep in the same bed with our heads at opposite ends. And I forget who, but one of us wet the bed. It was Unpleasant.

There was another episode when Mary and I had a babysitter who taught us how to make flubber. And it was good fun, but then we decided to sleep with it under our pillows and our mum was not happy. Plus the flubber died, and it was Sad.

So I think I'll get myself a new set of sheets, cause I need to get a new mattress pad anyway and I could use another set with a top sheet. I might just get white ones because I don't want to fuss over whether it's the right color blue or green. OR I could get Batman sheets and they would match almost my whole room except for my quilt, but that's all right with me. I have a Batman clock, a Batman hat on display, a Batman bookmark on display, a Batman picture my kid brother drew me, a Batman plush toy, and a Batman poster. Actually, correction: the bookmark is Robin, not Batman. But it's still in the Bat-genre.

I need to start watching Batman again. Not going to lie, I watch it mostly for Robin. THE BOY WONDER. What'll they call him when he gets older? They can't call him "the Man Wonder" cause that's weird and it would be embarrassing. Maybe the Citizens of Gotham realized that and now they're hoping that he'll get killed by one of the villains before he gets too old for them to stop calling him "boy wonder." Although they could just call him "Robin." But it doesn't matter cause they stopped the show after three seasons, which is a Tragedy and a Loss to the Cultured World.

Anyway, Mary, I promise I will get a top sheet, and I will hopefully see you this weekend. I'm off to get some tea and proofread my poly sci essay which has not been fun to write, but I'm grateful that it's not about pesticide.

Pip pip!
