What do they all have in common?

Well, I woke up this morning and looked for the Edster...

ED?

ED?

I checked the windows, the doors, the rooms and all his hiding spots.

ED?

I hear the dogs bark.


ED? I do a patrol around the house, check more windows...


ED?

I go to my mom's house!

ED?

ED?

*&$^#$%#, ED?

#^$%^$* Aw, crap where is he?


I look again and in the corner, on the bed, near my head, where HE NEVER EVER SLEEPS, is the Edster.


Coiled up into a little bitty ball hiding in plain sight. Of course he's used he magical powers of Cat-moflauge to make me roam the area looking for him.


I took some deep breaths, waiting for my heart to slow down and the cold sweat to go away and climbed back into bed with him....with an arm close, so I could make sure he didn't slip away.....
