On Saturday, my little autistic buddies slept at my house, so that their mother could sleep in on Mothers' Day. I have a twin bed and a queen-size hide-a-bed, so I put the kids in the hide-a-bed and myself as usual in the twin bed. With the dog.
Naturally, the dog took the middle of the bed. As always.
After maybe ten minutes, one of the kids crawled into my bed. I figured I'd let him stay, so he'd fall asleep faster. Good thing he's small and can work himself into the very small amount of space left by Her Majesty.
After another ten minutes, the second kid crawled into my bed too. And actually found some space left over at the foot of the bed.
Hmmmmm...
At this point, only The Creature was still in her original, comfortable configuration. So I put both the kids back in the hide-a-bed and went to sleep with them. And the dog remained master of the field.
See, even TWO autistic kids can't win against the orneriness of a shiba.
