My last post about the fire was a downer. It is very saddening, but I do have something pretty dang funny to write about, and I think it will cheer me up and anyone who needs a laugh right now.
I've discovered I married a sleeptalker. Several nights he's woken me up with his talking, and so far it's been nonsensical. Not long ago I woke up in the middle of the night and came to the realization that he has been working at a call center too long. His mumbling was along the lines of, "Don't stress about your phone plan. Don't worry. We're here to accommodate you...we're here to accommodate you..."
He's said some other funny things in his sleep, but nothing compared to last night.
I woke up to this noise (sort of a whistling, but more airy), and saw Jake with his hand in the air, moving it back and forth. It made me think he was dreaming he was playing with a toy airplane. But then he started talking. Here's what came out of his unconscious mouth:
Jake: "Look at the floud." (Yes, floud, pronounced like "cloud")
Me: "What?"
Jake: "The floud. I see a floud."
Me: "A floud? What's a floud?"
Jake: "You know! A floud, a ring floud. Like where we put our rings. It's big and black."
Me: "A ring floud? Like a ring pillow?" (me thinking of our wedding rings and the ring pillow for the wedding)
Jake: "No, a floud!"
Me (as I burst out laughing): "You are dreaming! What the heck is a floud?!"
Jake: "No I'm not!! I see it outside! It's black like a cloud!"
Me (still laughing uncontrollably): "You're dreaming! You're talking nonsense!"
Jake (now hurt with me because I don't understand): "No!" (in a whiny voice, and he rolls over away from me).
It took me a few minutes to stop laughing into my pillow. Before I fell asleep, I vowed to remember every detail of this conversation so I could tell Jake about it in the morning. This morning, he didn't remember any of it of course. Funniest thing I've ever heard in the middle of the night.
Maybe I should write down all his unconscious pearls of wisdom. Hope you enjoyed it this one :)

I've had some interesting conversations with Loren in his sleep, but this is WAY better!
