While you were sleeping
The other night, around 5 in the morning, I was awaken from a sound sleep by the sound of laughing. It was kind of strange laughing, like all the air was coming out of the nose.. Curious, I turned over and saw Lucas pressing the alarm button on the alarm clock over and over (which is not unusual for him to do before we go to sleep...he usually makes sure it is set about 50 times...). This time though, he checked it about 15 times, then layed down and kept laughing, but his eyes were closed. So, I woke him up and asked him exactly what he was doing. Apparently, this was all in his sleep and he had no idea what I was talking about. In fact, he thought I was crazy and seeing things. Another night, I was again sleeping soundly, and he rolls over and wakes me up by shaking my shoulder. Since it is the middle of the night, I am expecting him to have something important to say, or some kind of emergency. Instead, he says something to the effect of "Doonedoo, Rooneroo" and turns over. Again, he can't remember that either. Do things like this happen to any of you other married folks? I always think it is funny and would be interested to hear other stories.~Kelly

Kelly, I hope Lucas doesn't get to this point, but it is amusing anyway. Whenever Danny is really tired or stressed out, he will sleepwalk/talk/etc. The first incident: One night I awoke to him standing on the bed pumping his arms in the air like it was a rap concert. He explained that he was trying to stop the 'trashcans full of water' from falling onto our bed and getting us wet. As I started laughing, he got really mad and told me to shut up, etc. (He gets really mad when he's sleepwalking and I don't get what he is doing.) Sometimes he will jump out of bed and run for the door, saying "I'm trying to stop the fmmmorshmorsh". WHA? I've learned to stop asking questions and just go back to sleep. Good luck!Sara F. Wow, those are extreme stories. I guess I've got it pretty easy. My life partner often plays Monopoly in his sleep. He says stuff like, "Marvin Gardens makes me want to moonwalk." He never moonwalks. I just say, "Jimmy, you're having another monopoly flashback. Shut up before I beat your face senseless." Another time he was exploring the Wild West in his sleep. He tackled and hog-tied on of the kids with one of my shoelaces. The way I found out about it was the next day I woke and went to work and realized one of my shoelaces was missing. I called Jimmy at work and he said, "Sam, you're one crazy son of a gun." When I got home I saw my kid tied like a baby calf. He said, "Daddy, what was Jimmy doing last night." I told him not to worry and I got the shotgun out of the nightstand. I'm still waiting for Jimmy to get home.Sam Donaldson
