Don’t get me started on the dismount.

Oh look, here’s a picture of my bed. Does it look strange at all to you? Yes? That’s because the mofo is BROKEN.

My bed is broken and before you congratulate me, it wasn’t broken in the way every bed SHOULD be broken, no.

Graham has a habit of getting into bed in a way that can only be described as launching himself in there. He starts off over near the bathroom door, throws his body into the air and WHOOSH! arrives into bed with a fluorish, thrashing his body around until he’s found his comfy spot. It’s like a high jump, really.

While I have appreciation for Olympic sports, I’d really rather he didn’t do this while I was already in the bed, because while I enjoy a good knock against the headboard as much as the next gal, this pre-slumber bounciness has a tendency to make me, well…a bit queasy.

The other night, when Graham performed his high jump, there was a loud, sharp CRACK as his ass landed on the mattress. And I laughed my ass off. So did Graham. He’s spent most nights since then sleeping atop several large law books that have until now served no other purpose but to pad my office walls. Of course once the books were propping up the bed, I nearly immediately needed several for work, so last night he slept with his head well below the level of the rest of his body, and the levels of snoring achieved were incredible.

All of this is just to say babe…I love you, but until you get that bed fixed properly, our cat is the only pussy you’re gonna find in there.

    If it was an olympic sport, my husband could compete with yours. He broke a box spring and a bed frame that way, on two different occasions.

    That is TOO funny.

    I also enjoy a good high jump into bed, but I have yet to crack a bed frame. Way to go, Graham!
