My Quite Bedroom

brown wooden dresser with 9 drawers and a round mirror

For example, my bedroom is always quiet and peaceful during the day. However, one day I did overhear a conversation between my bedroom door, the bedroom dresser and the bedroom mirror.

“You know I’m more noteworthy than either of you two,” the bedroom door said to the dresser and mirror.

“What?”

“THRASONICAL CLAIMS AGAIN!”

“For example, I provide security,” bedroom door replied.

“For example, you don’t even have a lock,” the dresser replied.

“And your doorknob is loose and about ready to fall off,” the mirror added.

“Nevertheless, I can still be closed and jiggled open, which proves security and darkness,” the door responded.

“What about the large bedroom window?” the mirror asked.

“The large bedroom window is usually covered by the shutters; therefore, I control the light and darkness in the bedroom,” the bedroom door replied.

“What about the lights? The bedroom has a ceiling light and the nightstand lamp,” the dresser asked and stated.

“You two have always been jealous of my importance to the bedroom. I can close and open and you two can’t do anything.”

“you haven’t been closed in years, excluding when the floor is being vacuumed,” the mirror

“I provide organization and security for our owner’s clothes with my separate drawers. For example, His underwear and t-shirts and briefs are kept in separate drawers as are his dress sock and casual socks,” replied the dresser.

“He always confirms his dress appearance before he leaves the house. He observes himself at least a half dozen times every day, from morning to night. He never ever notices you and I bet he thinks you are just part of the bedroom wall,” the mirror added.

Later when I walked into my bedroom to select clean underwear and socks from the dresser, I also looked in the mirror to confirm that my hair was properly combed. All was quiet.

However, as I walked down the hall, I overheard the dresser and the mirror say in unison to the bedroom door, “He didn’t even look at you. Another example of who was important in this bedroom.

The bedroom door responded with a loud, HUMPH.”
