I now know what it is like to be buried alive - under pillows! Last night, the kids and I had movie night. Instead of watching the movie, my nine-year-old son decided it would be great fun to bury me under all the pillows in the house.
He started with the sofa pillows. Ten of them. He piled them up, so all you could see was my face. "Bubba," I said. "I'd really like to see this movie. Could you cut out the pillow piling?"
"No, Mama. This is fun!"
Then he found sofa cushions and added them on top.
"Uh, Bubba," I said. "It's kind of hard to breathe in here."
He didn't care. He just added more pillows.
I tried to knock the pile off of me, but it was too heavy. I succeeded in knocking the ones off of my head, so at least I could breathe.
"Bubba. Enough. You're going to end up killing your Mama by burying her under too many pillows!"
Fortunately my daughter had some sense, and removed the pillows (much to my son's dismay). Otherwise I might have just died under that pillow pile!
I'm the same way when a movie fails to hold my attention...
ReplyDeleteDo you bury yourself under pillows? ;0)
DeleteSmothered by pillow down...
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising how heavy a pile of pillows can be!
DeleteBubba is indeed savage. But I am guessing unlike the real thing you enjoyed your "buried alive" experience.

Well...it was interesting for a while. Then it was just plain annoying! ;0)
Deletegood thing he didn't put the sofa on top of you too!
ReplyDeleteHa! That would've been bad. Very bad!
DeleteI used to do that to my brother. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteDid your brother like it?
DeleteBuried alive by pillows? That certainly would've been a unique way to go! XD
ReplyDeleteConsidering how unique I am, it wouldn't surprise me if I eventually meet my demise buried under piles of pillows! ;0)
DeleteDeath by pillow pile sounds like a bad movie of the week
ReplyDeleteThank heavens Bubba didnt' continue with his pillow-burying adventure! It sounds like quite a fun time. I don't think anyone in your family gets bored. )
ReplyDeleteNo. Boredom rarely happens in my family!
DeleteGlad you managed to escape! Happy Sunday. ☺
ReplyDeleteThank God for daughters!
DeleteHooray for faithful and quick-thinking daughters to the rescue! lol! The girls need to stick together! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds all too familiar.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's been many a mom who's been buried under pillows by her kids!
DeleteNow that would be an interesting way to die. Glad it didn't work!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I still have a lot to do!
DeletePillows can be deadly
ReplyDeleteYes. You really have to watch those pillows!
DeleteNow that would be horrible for two reasons. One, being smothered to death is no way to go. Two, I'd miss you. Glad, your sweet daughter saved the day. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes. Thank God for daughters!
DeleteAh, smothered by love!! Or, y'know, pillows ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! Something like that!
DeleteBetter than being in sand, I guess.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Which reminds me of the time I was partially buried by my son on the beach. Fortunately, he only buried my legs.
DeleteSounds rather 'non-violent'...
ReplyDelete~shoes~
Sounds that way. But pillows can be surprisingly deceptive! ;0)
DeleteGood fun can go bad so fast... Glad you're still breathing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too!
DeleteGlad they let you get some air. That would not be a very good way to go.
ReplyDeleteI have no desire to be buried under pillows, again. That's for sure!
DeleteThis scenario sounds all too familiar ... :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's a part of childhood!
