Dear Auntie Leslie,
I just wanted you to know I gave up my pillow. It was really hard to do it. I was watching TV with Mommy and Lauren and Brenna, we were watching Oprah. A woman was talking about how many years she slept with her pillows, 30 years! That’s gross. I haven’t had mine for that long! There was a man on there who vacuumed up the stuff from inside her mattress and pillows.He was a scientist and was going to test everything for germs. He said that there was lots of dirt and dust in there and some creepy things called Dust Mites. When I saw the picture of the little bugs crawling around, I threw down my stained and stinky pillow and said I would never sleep with it again. In fact, I didn’t even want to touch it. I told Mommy I needed a new pillow and then Daddy took me to Wal-Mart and got me a new one. It doesn’t have feathers in it like the last one, but it still feels like it does. I have a pillow case on it too because I never want to touch the dust mites again!
I knew you would be soo happy to hear my good news!
Love, Danny Daniel
P.S. I did great during my basketball game! Talk to you later!!
Dearest Danny Daniel,
I am so very proud of you for taking this big step in your life. I know the last time you gave up your pillow it wasn’t your choice and it was really hard – but this time I think it will be easier since you know what was growing in there!
May you have wonderful dreams of Han Solo and Spongebob battling Volcano Mountain while sleeping with your new pillow.
Love, Auntie Leslie
PS: Congratulations on your game!
My Danny
WoW you are so right and smart to throw away that pillow. Now you can sleep with any kind of pillow case you want, go to sleep overs with your friends and go to sleep knowing that you made a very grown up choice that will make your dreams sweet and you won’t have anyone telling you what to do with your pillow ever again. I love you!

I think i saw the pillow creep last night. It might be trying to get back into Danny’s room. I think it feels lonely now.
