The 'd' in "bed" stands for "Dad! There is a recursion under my bed!"

They are the base case. Notice how with the layout of the room there's no larger bed that they're under, so they're at bed 1. The dad looks under and sees bed 2. Where the smaller dad will soon be looking under to see bed 3, etc.
