Hubby went to a big box store to buy dog food. Hubby came home with dog food and new pillows, memory foam pillows. They must have jumped off the shelf right into his cart and he was wheeling by. “They were on sale,” he said. Oh, that explains it. I’m glad he didn’t notice the reduced price for the trampoline. We would have a terrible time keeping the dogs off of that!

Memory foam pillows. The insert says “So now you can rest easy, and enjoy the sleep of your dreams!”

What I’m wondering about is the “memory” part. Will my new pillow make my memory better, increase its capacity? I’m looking at the pillow like the clichéd half-filled glass and thinking, “Sure. Why not?”

This memory foam pillow may be the breakthrough all students throughout history have been waiting for: the ability to put a book under one’s pillow and absorb its contents while asleep. I’m liking this idea more and more.

My magic memory foam pillow and book to put under it

Here’s the first book I’m going to put under my magic memory foam pillow (already in its pillowcase): The Second World War, Volume 1, The Gathering Storm by Sir Winston Churchill.

Yessiree, come the morning, I’m going to be one smart cookie. That’s my plan.

Hope there’s not a pop quiz first thing tomorrow. I want to keep my delusions a bit longer than that.

Books, in all their variety, offer the human intellect the means whereby civilisation may be carried forward triumphantly. ~ Sir Winston Churchill, 1937, in a statement for the National Book Fair.
