"I had to rush into my little sister's room at around 11:30 at night and say wildly, 'Naomi! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! The pillow sat there FLUFFILY!' Naomi was instantly very freaked out and cried, 'Stay back! Stay back!' I repeated the phrase and she said - she sounded a bit shaky.. weird, huh? - 'Okay, why did you *really* come in here?'

"Me: 'To tell you that. 'Cause, oh, my gosh, it was just so cool. I was standing there and then, bang, it hit me... the pillow was just sitting there fluffily.'

"Naomi: 'Okay, ummm.... what pillow? And why fluffily?'

"I just repeated the former sentence and finally she dragged me into my room to look at the pillow and she pronounced that she couldn't find *anything* *particularly* 'fluffily' about it, then I told her that, 'Oh, well, if she couldn't see it, then fine... be that way.' Then I went back to bed."
