When I'm talking in my sleep....

These are some amusing anecdotes that my sister and Matt have shared with me:

Growing up, my sister and I shared a room. One night, when we were teenagers, she came in, and not wanting to make noise if I was sleeping, asked me softly, "Jay, are you awake?"

"Yes," I responded, not moving in my bed. "Now shut up and help me put out the fire."

Another night, many years later, Matt was reading next to me as I slept. I rolled over and started mumbling. Amused, he stopped reading and listened. Apparently I said enough that he gathered that in my dream, I was sneaking around and had stopped at a door that led to a basement. He asked me if I was going to go in.

"No, you go first!"

I think he almost died from trying not to laugh out loud.

And most recently, again, Matt was reading as I slept. I rolled over and said, quite clearly, "I think those explode!"
