Rodgers has a habit of falling asleep in our chair-and-a-half. It's so comfy with the ottoman, after dinner, he just can't keep his eyes open. Usually, when I go to take a shower, he'll fall asleep in the chair. I make him get up and come to bed once I'm done. Whether he falls asleep before or after I go to shower, I tell him, "I'm going to shower now." That way he knows I'm not around for baby duty, if Nate happens to wake up, which he doesn't.
Monday night, I went to take a shower. Rodgers was already partially napping, but I told him I was going.
I got out of the shower, got ready for bed, and was sitting in bed updating my chart (for FAM - info here if you don't know what that is), when a car alarm started going off in the parking lot. It wasn't one of those siren types, it was just a repetitive blaring of the horn. It went off for a long time.
After a few minutes, Rodgers stumbled into the bedroom, looked at me, pointed his finger, and said, "Where is it?"
"What?"
"Your thingy!"
"...what thing?"
"beep! beep! beep!"
"That's a car alarm. Are you still asleep?"
He went back to the chair and laid down again. He does remember the conversation, so he wasn't totally sleep walking/talking. He swears I told him to listen for my alarm while I was in the shower because I wouldn't be able to hear it go off.
Ok, so maybe it's not funny to you. We cracked up. Sleep does funny things to the brain.
nope, that's funny. I just about fell out of my chair funny. Trying not to wake up the baby funny. wow.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very funny!!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't my Hillary comment post to this hilarious post?
ReplyDeleteThat's a relief. As I was typing I suddenly felt that it wasn't funny at all. :)
ReplyDeleteMom - is it the comment that went to my previous post (the Inigo Montoya inconceivable one)? I got that one right before this one. Otherwise, I dunno. Sometimes things evaporate.
