I don't know about you, but I'm tired, well, exhausted. I could crawl back into bed with a nice blanket. But what do you call a "bed with a blanket"? This NYT Mini Crossword clue is all about sleeping arrangements.

Stop right there! I'm going to tell you the answer.
Got it? The answer to five questions in the August 8 New York Times Mini Crossword is “CRIB.” A crib is a small bed for a baby or young child with bars on the sides to keep them from falling out. A “blankie” is a blanket for children.
Crib is also slang in the US to describe someone's home. MTV's Cribs, which aired from 2000 to 2010, featured tours of celebrity homes. (It was definitely not a reality TV show about tiny beds.)
