Off the Pan, Into the Fire

My journey through the realm of raising our sons...

Things that go bump in the night

"What are you doing?" No answer. And again, with more emphasis, "What are you doing?" Oh. Now wish I had added a "nevermind" in my best Roseanne Roseannadanna voice.

What a way to wake up, I had just accused my wife of being my son - I think.

And I blame it on squarely on Galen and Liam. My sleeping, unconscious brain clearly thought one of the kids was pillaging the closet. Without performing a verification protocol, without asking Shanna to check on the noise, hell, without rolling over to see if she was still in bed, I demanded "What are you doing?"

I do plead innocence, my defense is two-pronged:
  1. Liam does like the closet. Galen does like opening doors.
  2. My sleeping mind is trained to respond to possible kid-created noises.
Thankfully she recognized the humor. Thankfully I hadn't yelled some sleep-induced expletive. Thankfully she didn't harass me for enjoying last night's Tequila. No way it was booze; it was the kids.
