Were you a majorette before?

Kids were playing in front of my shop and you know kids, one moment they were having fun, the next thing I knew they were fighting. One girl was saying something like ‘Your mother is a majorette!’ to which the other girl countered ‘Your pillows are hard!’ I was baffled! What the heck was that all about? Loll Coz growing up, my mother made all our pillows not from cotton but from used clothings. So yeah, our pillows were hard. Please don’t judge. Like my aunts who would ask why our pillows were like rocks. Now I have my own family and we have our own pillows. Of course, their pillows are soft. But mine, it’s the same as before. Hard as a rock. How about you?

I do not like the super soft pillows but not the hard one also but yes I can relate to the hard pillows when I was young.

@sol_cee my grandma took care of us when we were growing. I do not know what's inside the pillows but it is not soft as the pillows now

I have never been a majorette and I like my pillow "firm", not hard, but not too soft, the pillow must support your head and too soft pillows make people snore, they cause breathing problems.

@sol_cee Two pillow is bad and no pillow is also bad. The cardiologist of my husband discussed this with him two weeks ago. Sleeping without a pillow disrupts the alignment of your spine and causes neck pain.

that reminds me of when I was 13 years old, I washed all our pillows because I thought they needed a good wash.. But they did not dry.. so we were without pillows for I don't remember how long.. But I do remember the dirty looks I got every night from everyone at bed time.. ahahahah!!.. I think until now, they hate me for it..

I don’t see a majorette as being something that would be considered an insult. I have four pillows on my bed, two soft ones and two hard ones. I usually sleep much better on the hard ones.

The search for the just right pillow goes on and on for me. I was never a drum major or majorette, but my youngest sister (lots older than I) was her high schools drum majorette.

Oh wow you still like your pillow hard like when you were growing up. I assume the insult meant the little girl was too poor to afford a nice pillow .

I like my pillows soft and "malleable". , So, I can cuddle them at squeeze them. I had never been a majorette, but I have been a company commander of our women's ROTC in high school. So, that could tell you a lot about how I was.

Oh how cute . . . I don't know how I would even become a majorette at that age. I found out about what a drill team was in 6th grade . . . our school didn't have that. I like low, flat pillows . . . but I think of livingroom pillows as harder ones . . . but never as hard as rocks .

My pillow is hard but what is the difference if I have a soft pillow?

I don't want a very soft pillow. I want it a bit solid. I actually use two pillows at night because I want it a bit high

That's pretty funny. Vince likes a fatter pillow than I do but they are both soft rather than hard.
