Yes. When I was very young it was my older brother, but I've always needed to hold something when I sleep and he didn't appreciate it being him. He'd push me onto the floor.
[ He can say it with amusement now, even if the rejection (and crashing on the floor) hurt back then. ]
Years later, I shared with my younger and he wet the bed, so I ended up doing the same to him and pushed him onto the floor.
[ By now he's wrapped an arm around her middle and tucked an arm under his head. ]
He couldn't help it, of course. He did it in his sleep.
[ Looking back on those times, he can recognize it all as fond memories and not let them be tainted by the fact that his brothers are dead and gone now. ]
Anyway, I was just curious. You ask me a great deal about myself and my homeland, but I haven't asked you as much in return. I will ask more another time.

Sleep now.
