When I was 6 or 8 my dad used to come in on Saturday morning, grab me by the ankle and drag me onto the floor. Then he took my blanket and pillow. You know those bare wood floors are cold on a winter morning. Kids today have it way too soft.

Of course the walk to the privy out back was even colder.
