I was awaken to the sound of Bridget calling “Mom. Mom. Help” at 2:30 a.m. the other day.

When I went in to investigate the cause of her outcry she informed me that she was “squishing” something. I was a little confused, but upon further investigation I found that she was laying on top of her keychain-sized Etch-E-Sketch. It was right in the middle of her back.

Now, granted, it was a little bigger than a pea.

And, it was on top of her mattress. Not under it. Not under lots of them.

But still.

I went back to bed laughing at my little princess and her “pea.”

(Note: I took the picture the following morning, not in the middle of the night.)
