I came across the phrase "I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers" in a book I'm reading.... while I was in bed. And honestly, I had to think about it.
I mean I've for sure said this at some point or another (in a joking manner as it's meant to suggest someone is very attractive and so could get away with this thing) but you know what? I don't, in reality, know that I would put up with someone eating crackers in a bed we were sharing!
Like one time a few months ago I had been eating something before bed (a while before bed) and hadn't noticed that a crumb or two had slipped unseen onto my chest under whatever I was wearing and so when I got into bed (and stripped down) those crumbs made their way from my cleavage/chest to the sheets.
And then didn't let me sleep (a la "Princess and the Pea") until I had turned the light back on, pulled the blankets back and swept the sheets to get rid of the super annoying tiny little crumb.
So I mean it's maybe a fun sort of thing to say but the truth of it, for me, is if you're eating in bed? I'm not going to be happy. And if you get crumbs in the bed? I will be mad. And have to clean it. And if you did it repeatedly? I might actually kick you out of bed! I'm just saying! My sleep is important and my body is super picky about smoothness and crumbs are not that.
Besides, what made him think it was a good idea to have crackers as a snack in a bed anyway!?
So I think I might actually kick him out of bed for even attempting to eat crackers.
*But the spirit of the saying is still there ;)
