Tis the season for a cold

The other night I tucked both of my boys in bright and early. Neither could breathe. So I made them get back up and get into a steamy shower. Ethan cried his best "I've-fallen-down-a-well-why-won't-anyone-come-to-save-me" cry and I just kept wondering why Derek couldn't just PICK HIM UP SO HE WOULD STOP CRYING. It got so bad that I considered getting into the shower to hold him. But as our shower has a 1.1 person maximum capacity and The Boy thinks he is 1.0 person who is entitled to be under the entire stream of the shower, I wasn't getting my 1.9 person body into the shower with the likes of the two of them.
They got back into bed and that was the last I heard of them. I went in at midnight to find The Boy draped around his father's head and shoulders like a cat and Derek's top half of his body sleeping on the nightstand and the bottom half of his body straddling 3 inches of bed.
D: Wha???
K: Would you like me to move The Boy?
D: If you wan'.
Next morning.
K: Do you know that you were sleeping on the nightstand last night?
D: I thought the bed seemed kind of hard.
K: Really? Because the entire top of your body was SLEEPING ON THE NIGHTSTAND. A reality that one would think would be difficult to miss.
D: I took a Benadryl last night.
Just another Benadryl story to add to the list.
