My brother and I had “bed” fights that ended with the mattresses off the frames. Our parents just loved us for that!

She adored it and actually on my R.E.A.D. post about reading to dogs that is the book she read to him.

AZ – Very funny, I concur with my sister. Although it would be funny, I’m pretty sure my body would not react the same way to a tumble off the bed and I would break some bone. Kids are so resilant, adults not so much. I might be willing to try if I was wearing some protective gear, just maybe I might consider it.

And there is no way I am teaching my kids that game, although if they come up with on there own so be it.

But I must say that your pillowcase game made me laugh!

AZ- Yeah, I’ve thought about it. There’s just a few problems: 1-We’re a lot further from the ground than we used to be. 2- I don’t want to break any bones. 3. My bed time isn’t 8 o’clock anymore.

Other than that, it sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe if we could put the mattress on the floor, I’d be willing to try. No more 2 foot drop-offs blindfolded for me! I’ve thought about telling my kids how to play, but I think they might never go to sleep at night if I do.

If you liked that one you should really read I Love My New Toy. Boo has most of it memorized. It cracks her up.

I really just love Mo Willems’ stuff!! And I totally agree about the color of the text bubbles. Very helpful for little readers, I think.
