funny sleep-talking from today
the backstory: I didn’t get a lot of sleep Saturday night, then we went canoeing Sunday, then I worked overnight Sunday, then I worked all day today. So I had gone for quite a while with not much sleep.
I needed to take a little nap, so I asked Sara to wake me up after a half hour so that I didn’t just sleep all evening and then not be able to sleep tonight.
Now as a sidenote, I sometimes talk in my sleep if I am being addressed while I’m in a dream, and my sleep-talking tends to make NO SENSE AT ALL.
The following is a transcript Sara took down when she realized it was going to be entertaining.
Sara gets up from the bed where Neal is taking a nap.
NEAL: What are you doing?
SARA: I’m going to read while you sleep.
NEAL: Why?
SARA: Because I don’t want to sleep.
NEAL: Is it because of my power blankets?
An hour and a half later, Sara realizes she needs to wake Neal.
SARA: Neal, wake up.
NEAL: Why?
SARA: Because it’s 6:20.
NEAL: Are you serious?!
SARA: Yeah, why?
NEAL: You mean to tell me, at the age of – how old am I now?
SARA: 26.
NEAL: You mean to tell me that at the age of 26, you’re accusing me of wrecking into the van?
SARA: What?!?
NEAL: The van is in the garage, and it’s wrecked!
Five minutes later…
NEAL: It’s KCi and JoJo.
Five minutes later…
NEAL: It’s diverting traffic.
Five minutes later…
SARA: Neal, it’s time to get up…you’re scaring me.
NEAL: You’re the micro-fridge.
A few minutes later, Sara shakes Neal.
NEAL: Freedom.
SARA: What?! Wake up!
NEAL: FREEDOM!!
A few minutes later.
NEAL: What is that, by the river?
SARA: You’re crazy. Wake up. (she sits Neal up in bed)
NEAL: (pauses) This isn’t where I thought we were at all.
SARA: Where did you think we were?
NEAL: By the river.
SARA: What river?
NEAL: I don’t know – the river.
SARA: Seriously, Neal. You need to get up, sleepy.
NEAL: Stop calling me names.
SARA: Neal!
NEAL: You should call me names like Harold…or Gator.
