A Claim Jumper

We recently had occasion to visit Schwartzbeere and family. There's a certain young man there who likes to try things on that belong to other people. Boots, for example.  This young man recently acquired a little sister.  And with the little sister came a baby rocker, a comfy little bed she can lay in and sleep or watch as life happens in her home. So anyway, this young man recently took the opportunity to try out that little bed.  I think it turned out to be a little harder than he originally thought it would be.  But that certainly didn't stop him.  Hardly slowed him down.
Its not a really big bed, its meant for infants who will lay quietly.  That's not the case with this young man.
Lots a wiggling and squirming.  Wasn't as easy as when Mom or Dad lays his sister in it.
In and wiggle.  Push and wiggle.
Not being a solid bed made it harder.  Its more like a hammock.
More squirming and wiggling.  Working his way in farther and farther.
Finally, after a few minutes and a great deal of effort, he was in.  Life was good.
Of course, it works lots better for its rightful owner.  She fits in it much better.  And she gets help getting in and out.  Why, she hardly gives it any thought at all - it just happens.  Works much better for her. But that's not a problem. In his mind, as long as nobody stops you it's fair game, go for it!
