how come?

     I'm curious. How come some nights mere moments after laying your head onto your pillow, you are totally comfortable, and it feels so amazingly good that your quite sure your going to have problems removing your head from it come morning.
     And yet there are other times that you can not seem to get comfortable on the pillow, no matter what you do. You try fluffing it. Nope. You try gently shaking it. Nope. You try starting at one end of it and 'working' it clear through to the other end. Nope. Then you think maybe a new pillow case will be what it needs. Nope. Or maybe it just needs a good shaking (or is that last step due to your rising aggravation? o:-) ). But no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to get comfortable on it, no matter what you do.
     And the thing is, that this differential between it sometimes being almost instantly totally wonderful, and yet other times being anything but, seems to be based completely on the mood of the pillow itself.
     You would think a factor such as how "long" of a day you'd had, might figure in to it. But sometimes the pillow is one way after a day such as that, and other times it's the other way.
     Another condition which you would think might factor in, would be just how sleepy you are or aren't. I mean sometimes you can be really, really tired and yet not be that sleepy. But other times you are so darn sleepy, you couldn't stop yawning long enough to brush your teeth (although you probably wouldn't really admit to that ;-p ). And keeping your eyes open long enough to walk from the door way to your bed, took excruciating effort. And yet even in those widely varying conditions, your pillow can sometimes be oh so comfortable, yet other times make you ready to discard it. And when your oh-so-sleepy and your pillow is what's keeping you awake... yeah. It's not a pleasant situation!
     So I'm curious, what is this differential between it sometimes being almost instantly totally wonderful, and yet other times being anything but? Is it really based completely on the mood of the pillow itself? Do pillows have 'moods'? Hey, come on now, we all know that inadament objects (which is the category your pillow would fall under) are capable of moving of their own accord (other wise how in the world do they get over there, when you know darn well that you left it here! ? And your the only one home...). And we know that they have personalities (how else could they have the ability to give you the 'warm fuzzies' when you needed it the most?). But do they also have moods? That is my question.
     If so, is there something we can do to help put them in to the mood we desire them to be in? I mean, are pillows which for awhile hold chocolate mints or candies while waiting for your arrival, always in good moods? Cause if so, I think that most of us wouldn't mind sneaking into our bedrooms shortly before dinner and placing a chocolate something or other on our pillow. I mean, if it's going to help our pillow be in a good mood, it would be worth it, right? o:-p
     We'd also have to remember to shut the door behind us, making sure the cat and/or dog aren't in there. And that the children don't wander in. And ... But hey, eating chocolate before slipping off to sleep - I mean, placing chocolate on your pillow to guarantee that your pillow is going to be in a good mood, thus making it eager to be ever so comfortable for you, would be worth those elements of 'details', right? ;-p


     Oh, and if it's not having chocolate on it that makes the difference, do you have any idea WHAT it is that does?!!! 'Inquiring minds want to know'!!!
