I don't have a The Jim, but I do have a The Dog, and I think it is a similar relationship. In the middle of the afternoon The Tot or The Boy like to climb on one of us while we simply want to take a nap. The Dog looks at me with his sad, tired eyes and it translates to "Do you think we can sneak out of here and get some sleep?" and I say very seriously, and very solemnly, "They will find us."

I guess everybody has a The something.
