Previously Deleted Scenes from a Nap

In the spring, we finally did it - we purchased the family bed. In our case, the bed is an inner-spring futon, and the family is, well, hairy. Very, very hairy. And let me tell you...there's a lot you want to do in a bed that doesn't involve hairy sensory input. Not dog or cat hair anyway.
