    Depends are on top of the covers and sheets?  This is lying ON the bed. 

    If under the covers, then you are IN the bed.

  • I say in the bed because I actually get inside the bed.  The mattress stuffing is warm and soft. Makes me feel like Luke Skywalker all warm and toasty stuffed inside of a Tauntaun on Hoth.

    Why do we say on the bus, plane, ship, or train instead of in those conveyances? Are we all daredevils?
