Tw-ouble!

I got clunked by a cupboard last night - well, perhaps I was the one who clunked first! The back seat folds down to a bed in our van - and it is what I call -
Tw-ouble! Our sleeping "mattress" width is in between a twin size (36") and a double (54"). That's what I call Tw-ouble! Being used to a king size now at home, this whole thing is quite an adjustment! I am surprised insurance companies haven't gotten in the game as we suffer from "zipper surprise" when the sleeping bag zipper snaps some innocent body part in the middle of the night (my zipper tends to be half undone for those occasional instant hot flashes) or "10 minutes for elbowing" when one us elbows the other and it is at least 10 minutes before you get back to sleep, or "knee jerk" when you are trying to change position in a non-change position situation!

So far, so good. We are getting used to "signaling our turns" and when one of us starts to roll over, the other one better follow suit or forever hold your "place"!

One thing I know for sure - it is a good thing we are both good sleepers. This would be even more Tw-ouble if either one snored or got up in the night or was restless. It gives new meaning to being compatible! There is a cute visual - Rip gets into bed backwards and feet first - it is quite the picture to watch - there are advantages of being short!

For me, I continue to clunk the pots and pans cupboards and get nipped by the zipper, but really the whole experience isn't really as much "Tw-ouble" as it sounds.
