Edge of the Ledge

C threw up on H Monday night. Just leaned over the rail of the top bunk and let go.
H slept through the whole thing; even the part where we had to peel off his puke-saturated sheets and get him another blanket.
Later C said that the reason he leaned over was to avoid throwing up on his sleeping bag.
So the lesson to be learned is that given the choice between barfing on his younger brother or on his sleeping bag, the average seven-year old boy will choose his brother.
Maybe that's where the dubious term of endearment "little puke" comes from.
