Where did the pillow go?

It is never fun to be awoken at 2:30 AM by a screaming child. But it is especially not fun when you can't easily solve the child's complaint.

Sam: I dropped my pillow
Me (looking everywhere in the vicinity): Where did it go?
Sam: Under the bed
Me (looking under the bed): Where?
Sam: I don't know
Me: Here's a new pillow.

I think my child may have inadvertently eaten his pillow. Or maybe it'll be obvious in the morning.

Um...check the living room. I think he brought his pillow out when it was "naptime for doggies" yesterday morning.

I'm sorry, I know it couldn't have been fun at the time, but reading the transcript of the tale, I have to laugh. I liked your solution. Why worry about a vanishing pillow when it can easily be replaced.

If it had happened an hour or two later, it would've gotten you up in time to head out to the stores. (I did not go shopping all day, crowded stores are not my friends)

I should have perhaps anticipated this: Today as I was putting the boys down for nap, I asked myself "Since when does Isaac have two pillows in his bed."

Mystery solved.
