most of the nurses had seen my Kindle and thought it was pretty nifty, but one night there was a new night nurse that was obviously from the DEEP south. typically I would fall asleep reading my Kindle and it would get tangled in the sheets, pillows or whatever. she came in for the first time when I was frantically tossing pillows around, shaking my sheets out and looking rather frantic. "Dahlin'" she drawled "whatevuh is the mattuh? What are you lookin' fer?" my extremely frantic reply was "My KINDLE!!!!! I know I went to sleep with it and I can't find it anywhere, I'm afraid it has fallen on the floor, could you look?" this poor nurse looked at me, a seemingly sane however rather drugged adult and in extreme bewilderment asked; "Your Ken Doll you say? You cannot find your Ken Doll?"
yeah....

Bah, I wake up in the middle of the night because I can't find my stuffed bear! (a raccoon, actually...) I bought it in '91, because it was sitting in the store, looking at me with those sad eyes...
And my reader is always underneath my pillow!
