Edrick: Mom, why do you have this thingy on your bed thingy?
Mommy: What thingy? *not looking because she is in the walk-in closet*
Edrick: This red thingy on your bed.
Mommy: *pokes her head out to see what red thingy she has on her bed* Oh, that’s a bedspread, Monch.
Edrick: Yeah! The bedspread thingy. Why do you have the bedspread thingy on your bed thingy?
Mommy: *knows where this ‘thingy’ business comes from, thinks it’s very Spies Girls, and knows she has one Spy Girl in her house* Well, that’s what Daddy got me for Christmas. It makes the bed look nice, don’t you think?
Edrick: Yeah! It looks nice. But what does the beadspread thingy do, Mom?
Mommy: It makes the bed comfortable.
Edrick: Oh! If you don’t put it on, it’s not comfortable?
Mommy: It is. But it is more comfortable.
Edrick: What happens if you don’t put it on, Mom?
Mommy: Nothing happens.
Edrick: You won’t be comfortable?
Mommy: I will. It’s still comfortable even when the bedspread’s not on.
Edrick: Then, you don’t need it?
Mommy: Well… I don’t need it. You’re right. But I want it on my bed. It feels nice.
Edrick: That’s why Daddy gave it to you? You wanted it?
Mommy: No. I didn’t want it. It’s a gift. He wanted to give it to me. I didn’t ask for it.
Edrick: But why did Daddy want to give it to you if you didn’t want it?
Mommy: I didn’t say I didn’t want it. I said I didn’t ask for it. Daddy was being nice. He got me the bedspread to make me more comfortable than before.
Edrick: But I want my bed to be comfortable too.
Mommy: *thinks she knows where the conversation is going* But your bed is already comfortable.
Edrick: No, it’s not! I need a bedspread thingy to make it comfortable.
Mommy: No, you don’t.
Edrick: Yes, I do.
Mommy: No, you don’t. If it’s too comfortable, you don’t wanna get up and get out of bed then.
Edrick: *looks at Mommy and quickly reconsiders as he knows he is very much a morning person* Never mind!
Mommy: *goes ‘Huh?’ again as she is gearing up and getting ready for a tug-of-bedspread-war with her sunny-side-up son, potentially fighting for the red bedspread thingy*
