Dec 9 New Blog - First Post: Irony of the Pillow Fight

Today, I am starting my blog I have thought of starting, but hadn't yet. So here it is.

Like the first day of school, when you wonder whether you will like your teacher? Will the cute boy from last year be in your class? Will the boring teacher at least dress peculiarly so you have something to stare at during class?

I am wondering how blogging will go. Do I have enough to say? And more importantly, is it relevant, vaguely interesting, slightly humourous? What will I write about?

********************

Today's topic will be to determine if fighting with pillows is really a fight??

My boys use 2 living room pillows as their primary fighting pillows. They have optimal size, weight and density I imagine. Or they are just conveniently placed next to the computer.

I have to take them away and throw them above our closet when the pillow fight gets too bloody. Okay, I am exaggerating!!

I suppose its better to fight with pillows, but as I say (too often), those pillows are not weapons!! They are just old pillows, and I guess kids are just kids.

They can amuse themselves with very little so pillows are in reality better than a sharp stick or a bag of rocks.  But if you get hurt with a pillow.... hmm, I still can't wrap my head around this one.

I could take the stuffing out, leaving the empty pillowcover. And see what the reaction is! Or put a note on it, "This is not a weapon, put me down!!"

The funniest thing to do would be to cut a hole in the pillow and the next person to hit someone with it would think they ruptured the pillow when it exploded in a flurry of feathers. Oh, that is way too mean!! And I still like my pillows...

 Please feel free to cast your opinion. Is a pillow used in a pillowfight a weapon?
