	Those just add a new exciting element to youthful 'if you don't stop snoring I'm going to kill you with your own teddybear!' skirmishes. Me and my sister lasted sharing a room until around oh, age eight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My sister slept on the bottom bunk for a while, and if I was loud during the night, she'd reach her feet up through the slats the mattress was resting on, and kick me. . . . after she decided she wanted the top bunk, we lasted another week of sharing a room, and that was it. >:) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I loved doing that to her! Um. I mean. I was an awesome brother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ahaha. I did it to my brother too. My cousin tried it once when she slept over at our house, one of the planks ended up falling on her head and she was sent to the hospital ASAP. Never had to give my lower bunk up when she slept over again. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	My sister really lost out on the bottom bunk. She was too little to kick me from below, and when I had chronic tummy bug she made the mistake of leaning out to ask if I was OK, just as I threw up over the side of the bed. I didn't mean to be such a bad sister. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I wonder who hasn't wished somewhere in the depths of their heart that they could do exactly that to a sibling. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I used to do that to my sister all the time! Cause the slats are nailed to the rest of the bunk, the whole bunk bed would rise a foot in the air and Tina would scream. Aaaah, good times. sigh (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I used to do that to my roommate freshman year! I'd wake up to her snoring and kick the mattress until she rolled over and stopped snoring. That was until she moved to the middle room without warning while I was out performing in Rocky Horror. Oh was I pissed. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I used to do that to my sister all the time, too - except I would lift her entire mattress up by the slats. This was whenever I felt like it, not just if she was being loud/bratty. Serves her right for getting the top bunk. no issues here! (Reply to this)(Parent)

It's sort of odd. To understand our sleeping arrangements, it's important to note we lived in a huge farmhouse which wasn't meant to be lived in during all four seasons. It was a... vacation house. Such as it were.

I had my own room, that I recall, and my sister had hers (or did we share? I don't remember...) and my brothers sort of shared a room, but there was a rather odd, flimsy "wall" between their rooms which didn't quite hit the top, so we used to throw toys over top of it, or play "volley ball", stuff like that.

When we renovated, we stayed in trailers. My parents bought two sets of bunk beds, one for my sister and I's room, one for the boys' room. When the house was done being renovated, my sister got the whole bunk bed, and put toys on the part she didn't sleep on, I got a different bed, and they split the boys' bunk beds, so they each had a single. Those mattresses, for the record, sucked ass.

Also, because I watch too much children's tv, the Berenstain Bear kids share a room, with bunk beds, and I'm pretty sure the kids in Ms Spider do too. e.e;

I remember wondering what prompted Gramps and Gran to name their kid 'Papa'.

But then, when I was a kid it used to really bug me when characters in books had no names. So I started naming them myself. The kid in The Polar Express I named Joshua. And the kid in The Witches was Matthew.

When they made the movie out of The Witches, they called the kid 'Luke'. My mom laughed and said I was only a couple of gospels off.

	I did that when I was a kid! I slept on one bed in the bunk bed, and my toys slept on the other. :-p (Reply to this)(Parent)
