Comfort / 2

For once we agree completely about Tokyo.

My husband dreams we’re camped out in a ruined city. There’s a big crowd, everybody’s got a mattress, and I’m bitching about ours.

My husband gets up, goes from mattress to mattress, and measures with his thumb and forefinger. As he walks he argues with me: our mattress is thicker than theirs, theirs is much thinner, our mattress is better, this one too, our mattress is much thicker, much better, much thicker than theirs.
