Silly Talk Overnight

Do your kids talk when they're half asleep and you're trying to get them to drink juice?

Sometimes Matthew is hysterical.

Me:  Honey, you need to drink some juice.  Can you drink some juice for me?

Matthew:  Yep. (Then closes mouth.)

Me:  Matthew, I need you to drink some juice.  Open your mouth.

Matthew:  I can't. I'm grounded.

Me:  No, you're not grounded, silly, I just need you to drink some juice.

Matthew:  Oh, I'm just talking to myself.

Me:  (Now I'm really laughing.)  Well....can you drink some juice?  Open your mouth.

Finally, I get the straw in his mouth and he drinks.  What a goof!

LOL!

DD says the funniest things sometimes. The other night she was low and had been asleep an hour or so. I was trying to get her to drink a juice box and she kept holding her arm up to my face when I told her to drink. The only thing we could figure later was that maybe her foggy brain throught I wanted to poke her finger-- not exactly the way to do that, either, but still.... funny!

Ha!! Love the part that he was grounded! Natalie never wakes up or talks just sucks away like a baby goat.

Ha!!! Love that he talks in his sleep to you. Joe will NOT drink juice in his sleep...only chews glucose tabs. I worry about his dentition.
