Early Morning

Around 6 am, I rolled over and noticed the light on in the hallway. I closed my eyes for a second, opened them and saw Gillian standing next to the bed. She had a stuffed animal. I motioned for her to climb into bed with me. She did. Just as she settled in she said "Where's John?" I said "You didn't even say 'Good Morning' yet." She said "Good Morning! Where's John?" I said "Probably still in bed, it's really early." She said "Nope. I checked. Just Travis (the turtle) was in there." I said "Maybe Travis ate him!" She said "Nahh." I said "Maybe. You know Travis has been looking a little cubby lately." She looked at me and said "No. Him's a stuffed animal!"
