Minutes on the Matter of Shared Blanket Treaty
The blanket was shared when both people went to sleep. By morning, one person has all of it. Neither remembers how this happened.
MINUTES OF THE OVERNIGHT BLANKET ALLOCATION SESSION Parties: Two people sharing a bed Quorum: Present at start, not maintained through session
Opening Status
Initial allocation confirmed at approximately 11pm: equal portions. Both parties satisfied. The blanket was large enough for both. The temperature was appropriate. The session began with positive conditions.
The Session
No minutes were taken during the session due to the nature of the session, which required both parties to be unconscious. The following is a reconstruction based on available evidence at 7am.
Unknown time: first adjustment. The distribution shifted slightly. Evidence suggests this was inadvertent, produced by movement during sleep. No party was in a position to object.
Approximately 2am: second adjustment. The shift became more pronounced. One party's portion now significantly exceeded the other's. No objection was raised because both parties were asleep.
Approximately 4am: third adjustment. The disparity reached a point where one party's cold feet became a sensory input sufficient to produce a retrieving motion. This motion temporarily restored balance. Balance was not maintained.
6am: final recorded status. Ninety percent of blanket with one party. Ten percent with the other, described as "technically still in contact with."
The Morning Assessment
Neither party recalls the overnight session. The party who woke cold noted the distribution and made a retrieval. The party who had been warm does not know the overnight session occurred. The session is not a subject of discussion.
This is the standard outcome. The blanket returns to equal allocation by consensus. Tonight's session will begin under the same conditions as last night's. The same result is probable.
No corrective action is recommended. The session is adjourned.
