SITUATION: New CPAP machine (also known as the "I've Given Up On Looking Cool For The Rest of My Life" machine) now makes it possible for me to sleep in my own bedroom with baby and wife (whilst wearing a mask that best resembles a cassowary):
TASK: Install baby bed rail on our king-sized bed -- including the stabilization rod that needs to go under the mattress -- without waking the sleeping baby (and, if possible, the Missuz).
RESULT: Baby bed rail is installed without the baby even moving, and wife was only minimally disturbed during the entire assembly and installation process -- which included two ropes attached to anchors on the far side of the bed.
What's that, you say? What kind of person could pull off such an accomplishment? Wouldn't they have to be a ninja?
Welp - funny you should say that... because the instructions show a masked ninja installing the bed rail:
"If you can't see where to install the rods in Diagrams 15a and 15b because of your ninja mask, just look for the giant circle."
"No ninja baby bed rail is complete without a pleasant summer baby dress to hang on it."
Seriously, I love how far we've come that we're replacing gender and ethnic-neutral images with just plain masked ninjas. This made my night.
So tonight, I get to sleep in the bedroom with my wife and baby.

SITUATION: New CPAP machine (also known as the "I've Given Up On Looking Cool For The Rest of My Life" machine) now makes it possible for me to sleep in my own bedroom with baby and wife (whilst wearing a mask that best resembles a cassowary):
"Hi, I'm a cassowary. Some people think I'm wearing a CPAP mask, but I'm not."
"Stupid humans."
Such a bed configuration would require an extra-large bed rail that includes:
14 pieces
78 diagrams
592 steps
7,658 warnings and/or precautions
TASK: Install baby bed rail on our king-sized bed -- including the stabilization rod that needs to go under the mattress -- without waking the sleeping baby (and, if possible, the Missuz).
Not our actual bed, bed rail or baby. I just blatantly stole this off Google Images. Annalise and/or Jess is much cuter than this baby.
And if you're reading this and it's YOUR baby... I was kidding.
RESULT: Baby bed rail is installed without the baby even moving, and wife was only minimally disturbed during the entire assembly and installation process -- which included two ropes attached to anchors on the far side of the bed.
"Levitating semi-transparent bed in Diagram 19 not included."
What's that, you say? What kind of person could pull off such an accomplishment? Wouldn't they have to be a ninja?
Welp - funny you should say that... because the instructions show a masked ninja installing the bed rail:
"Once installed, your horizontal bed rail bar can also be used to fend off intruders with long wing spans (See Diagram 1)."
"Before using your ninja skills to assemble the rail's stabilizing rods, try to crack a smile through your ninja mask for the illustrator (Diagram 13)."
Seriously, I love how far we've come that we're replacing gender and ethnic-neutral images with just plain masked ninjas. This made my night.
So tonight, I get to sleep in the bedroom with my wife and baby.
