TGI Pillows

A conversation with friends recently went like this:

--Would you rather give up sugar or pillows? A lengthy discussion ensued. Perhaps some context. We were giddy from it being a warm day in March and having just finished flying kits and picnicking atop one of the most gorgeous bald mountains in the universe. Some of us (not me--have preggo belly pillow, will travel) had forgotton to pack pillows in with our camping gear and instead of complaining, we came up with some interesting scenarios which you are free to ponder at your leisure.

1. Pillows or sugar?

2. pillows or cheese?

3. Blankets or pillows?

4. Mattresses or pillows?

5. Pillows or bread? I had to intervene at this point in the conversation. No way would I give up bread. Even for pillows. Eating is great and I do it when I'm mostly awake. Pillows, I am mostly not conscious to enjoy. Eating a good meal without bread is like never being quite warm enough even though you may be on the beach. Eating a bad meal without bread is like sitting in a cold courtroom waiting for jury duty and not having brought a sweater or jacket. I am against not eating bread. I know some people have gluten intolerances and such but there are still ways to get some bread like substances in there.

In conclusion. Bread over pillows. The others are a bit of a toss up. Just thought I'd let you know where things stand.
