One night I was woken from a deep sleep by a terrible sound – a horribly rumbling noise. Sean was sleeping on his back and snoring. Normally it doesn’t bother me much, but this was louder than usual and I couldn’t go back to sleep.
I generally try not to wake him completely. I gently poked him…nothing. I poked him a bit harder…still nothing. I shoved my fist under his shoulder blade…no reaction. Finally I decided I was going to have to wake him, at least a little.
Poke, poke…”Honey, roll over.”
“Zzzz….”
POKE, poke…”Honey, roll over.”
“Mmmmhhh..?”
POKE, POKE…”HONEY, roll OVER.”
“Mmm…ok….” At which point he proceeded to roll over a complete 360 degrees, and onto his back again.
I couldn’t even be mad since he did exactly what I asked! I guess sometimes you just can’t win.
