Reality Check by Dave Whamond for July 09, 2021

Husband?

I loved to do that when I was a kid.

Sounds like a good deal. Carry on.

Ralph found a good place to hide.

My wife loves throw pillows so much I sometimes take a photo of the bed so I have a reference point to monitor any subtle changes.

With this compromise, Otis has won this pillow fight battle.

However, I’m afraid that soon she will decide to bring down the fort.

Help! Oh help! A monster under the bed!

Oh waitsaminute.

Did Otis grow up on Ballard Street?

We have two rooms with beds in them. One is the ‘sleeping’ room and the other is the ‘decorative’ room with throw pillows, etc. It has worked out well for 18 years.

Is this just a sham marriage?

O’er the ramparts he will see bolsters, duvets, and pillow shams a’comin …!

Now I want a throw pillow fort…

He is going to need some weapons to defend that fort.

Any “My Pillows” in there? I do see a Purple Pillow, though

I make a fort for the cats to play in. It’s fun to watch them.

Exactly how I compromised to make my marriage last over 54 years.
