Yes, some days, I need to be the one who amuses me.

The alternative seems to be her mother or I pulling her out of her bed until one of us busts a hip or something.

I don't think she wants to go away to college because of this. I'm really starting to get worried.

I think this all has great potential for some kind of Rube Goldberg, groupthink constructofest.

I'm not good with relays and stuff, but might be willing to learn. It seems like it would be cathartic to drop something on her - like icewater or ping-pong balls. But, then, how do you reload it and clean up the mess?

I kind of like the bass-shaker idea, but I don't know that it would really work.

Perhaps some kind of pneumatic lift on one side of the bed.

Hmmmm.
