A Bedtime Story

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas...we did! We had a great few days running from Alabama to South Carolina to Tennessee...and back. It was a great time...hopefully we'll have some pictures up soon. Anyway...

And now, for a story...

A few nights ago Lyndsay went to bed early because she had to get up for work at 5:00 AM, as usual. I (Scott) decided to stay up a bit longer...it was about 8:00 PM, and I wasn't quite ready for bed yet. A bit later, I decided it was time, so I headed off to bed. As I was getting in, Lyndsay rolled over and said, "...I don't know how we're going to get across the river..."

Realizing that this was her talking in her sleep (though her eyes were periodically opening and closing), I decided to seize the moment. "Across the river?" I asked. "What are our options?"

A pause. "...raccoon?" She replied. I didn't really know what this meant, so I asked again if there were any other ways. "...we could swim..." she said. "Well yeah," I replied, trying to get a reaction out of her, "but what about our stuff?"

She paused, rolled her eyes, shrugged, and went back to bed. I laughed and did the same.

I'm not sure if we made it across the river or not. I asked the next morning, but she didn't remember.

THE END
