Talking In Your Sleep

11 o'clock on a Saturday night. The house has finally quieted down after the movie and popcorn. I'm reasonably certain the kids are asleep.

As I tiptoe back down the hall to peek into each room, I hear a thump.

I find my son sitting up in bed with that faraway bleary-eyed look of someone who is half asleep. He looks at me, but not really seeing me, and I ask, "Are you okay?"

He looks off into the distance and says groggily, "The force of everyone..." then lays his head back down and goes to sleep.

I'll be scratching my head over this one for days.

When my hubby was still a copper he shouted out one night "Get out of the car!" he was still asleep .... needless to say it scared the living daylights out of me.

The wife used to teach classes in her sleep.

I got yelled for running across the playground several times.

Just hope it doesn't progress further. I had a cousin growing up who sleep walked into his parents room and promptly peed all over his dad. The force was with him.

At one time or another, both my kids have shuffled down the hall and into my office around midnight, looking lost. When I asked them what they needed, they'd mumble, "Need to use the bathroom."

Which made me wonder, if I hadn't been up would they have gone pee in my office? I don't even want to think about it.

When we first got married my wife would do stuff like that all the time. She would even carry on conversations (although they didn't make much sense)

No talking or walking--yet. I hope it stays that way.

I had a brother look at me once when he was asleep and ask me to put the present on the shelf.

I always knew children contained all the wisdom in the world.

Boo is a chronic talker; however, hers are mostly, "Emily stop it"

My ex the chef used to yell at the people in the kitchen at night, weird how reading everyone's comments we all bring our work home with us.
