Turns out someone WAS sleeping in my dad's bed...

The punchline logic is full of bear fertilizer. Many happily married couples have different sleeping habits and needs, the only sensible solution is separate beds and even bedrooms.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 113 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but unfortunately this particular bear couple is having marital issues πŸ˜”

Papa bear's bed was very hard, Mama bear's bed was very soft. They might just have incompatible mattress needs.

"Dad snores and corrective surgery is considered elective by our insurance and not covered."

Honestly, I do snore like a bear, and this is why we have a β€œbail out bed” in another room. Even I use it sometimes when she’s snoring. Like last night, for instance.

The "Bail out Bed" was a flawed idea because no one wants to get up and relocate in the middle of the night and interrupt their sleep cycles.

He snores, he always snores, tonight won't be any different, so why don't I just start in the bail out bed so once I fall asleep I stay asleep and the human freight train I shacked up with doesn't wake me up.

He finally got a Cpap last year for his obstructive sleep apnoea.

but we'd slept in separate beds for 5 years, and I was used to sleeping alone and having full control over my temperature and I'm a fidgety sleeper, so we couldn't get used to sharing a bed again.

I think both of us being well rested and refreshed each day is more important to the health of our relationship than sharing a bed. If we're not fatigued, headachey and cranky, we can spend quality time together outside of bed.

"How long, mama?"

"Well... how old are you?"

There was a time when you weren't allowed to show a bed for two on TV in the USA.

O shit was that one joke at the beginning of wandavisiom when they were in the early sitcom and pushed the beds together?

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 12 points 3 months ago

It's also why Bert and Ernie had two beds.

Thankfully, they allowed Charlie Bucket's grandparents to have a bed for four.

Even for married couples. The Dick Van Dyke show was one example. Twin beds in the bedroom, separated by a nightstand.

When Mary Tyler Moore got her own show, they aired it before the Dick Van Dyke show, so no one would think they had gotten divorced.

Well son, because of thins like the Hayes Code, mom and I can’t share a bed. You know, …because the children…

hussy

My brain has been so badly poisoned by the internet that I initially failed to read that as the actual word.

[–] algorithmae@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 months ago

Wait, there's am actual meaning to that word?

#BringBackHussy

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Wait, what's the internet definition of the word?

I thought hussy was a synonym for "loose woman"

What does it mean now days?

Edit: oh, it's not that hussy has a different definition on the internet, it's that it looks like "bussy" if you're not looking closely?

Which I never read correctly anyway because I see it written like that and in my head I'm saying "bah see" not "buo see"

Two beds = Happier, plus you get more choices about whose bed to have sex in, and can have more compartmentalized and meaningful quality time together. Better control over distance and needs.

[–] Phen 7 points 3 months ago

The comic is extra dumb because they all clearly needed different kinds of mattresses.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 months ago

Cats have the right idea. Every room should have at least one place that's good to sleep in.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

I sleep in a big bed with my wife

[–] Stoney_Logica1@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Clearly this isn't the arrangement Mama Bear and Papa Bear originally had.

[–] muzzle@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Mommy bear: "someone has been sleeping in my bed!"

Daddy bear, muttering: "yeah, who hasn't?"

[–] lime@feddit.nu 0 points 3 months ago

this comic didn't need the last panel.
