Falling Babies

Preface:  Jack is my pug.   Jason is my brother. 

Me:  Do you know that spot jack sleeps on the couch?

Curtis: On the corner there?

Me:  Yeah.  He was asleep and rolled off and fell to the floor.  Scared me to death.  I thought he was dead.

Curtis:  Was he?

Me:  Well no, dad.  I think he was still dreaming when he hit the floor. I ran over to check on him and he acted like I was waking him up.

Curtis:  You gotta get used to that.  It happens with kids too.

Me:  What??

Curtis:  Jason used to do that.  He used to fall out of his bed.  That's why I taught him to crawl out of his baby bed,

Me:  Really?

Curtis:  Oh yeah.  One time your mother started hollerin' about him.  I ran in there and he was on the floor asleep.  He'd fallen out.  I said, "Just leave him there, he looks alright. Put the blanket on him." 
Well she wouldn't have it... so I told her I'd just take him to bed with us.  She didn't like that either so he had to go back in his own bed.  I told her she had to put the rails up.

Me:  This is a sad story.  Babies falling out of their beds...its not right.

Curtis:  It just happens.  Kids roll around all crazy. 

Me:  Good to know.
