I love lamp

Bed time has arrived. You've brushed your teeth, applied your skin care and are ready to snuggle into your neatly made bed. Everything is done and you're feeling satisfied that you'll wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed and ready to start your day.

You don't turn off the light, as your darling partner is still explaining to the puppy why 'Mummy' won't let him sleep inside. You take your uggies off, pull down the corner of the sheets and daintily slip into bed, being careful not to un-tuck the sheets any more than necessary.

Perhaps you reach for your book, perhaps you switch into a seductive yet flattering position, or perhaps you think about the wonderful weekend you've had and drift off into day dream land; either way, you're relaxed.

You're suddenly startled by the sound of what seems to be a stampede of 10 thousand Woolly Mammoths and in a single moment of optimism you think to  yourself "But Woolly Mammoth's are extinct?". Then it dawns upon you... EMBRACE FOR IMPACT!

Before you know it, your once darling partner has used the blanket box at the end of your bed as a launch pad, attempted to flip onto the beautifully made bed, landed on your arm, double bounced himself and landed flat on the floorboards.

You're crippled with pain; he's winded but has somehow managed to make it back onto the bed; the dog's barking from the noise of the impact, but it's okay because you're in bed, you're safe. 

In this moment, there are no need for words, there's no need for movement. You're saved by the hope that your arm will feel better after a good sleep and he's saved by the fact you're in too much pain to yell.

Until you realise the light's still on.
