Sleep Talking

I switched the tv off at about 23:30 last night. Hayley had been asleep for a while and I had stayed up to watch the football.

So I was trying to dose off when suddenly Hayley speaks. Now I recognise Hayley`s "sleep talking" voice and the content thereof so I obviously tried to play along as much as possible.

This is the conversation that ensued:

Hayley: "Is she gonna bring it back?"
Me: "Is she gonna bring what back?"
Hayley: "My nursing stuff"
Me: "What nursing stuff?"
Hayley: "My nursing stuff!!!"
Me: "What do you need the nursing stuff for?"
Hayley: "My neck is sore"
Me: "Why?"
Hayley: "I`m sweating"
Me: "Why are you sweating?"
Hayley: "Cos I`m standing in the sun in my nurses outfit"
Hayley (excited): 'That`s why my neck is sore!!!"
Me: "Why is your neck sore?"
Hayley: "Cos I`ve been staring up at the sun, that`s why my neck is sore!!"
Me: "Are you awake?"
Hayley: "You cannot buy a trolley at the shops"
Me: "Why can you not buy a trolley at the shops?"
Hayley: "Cos it doesn`t have a tag on it"
Hayley laughs out loud
Me: "Are you ok?"
Hayley: "Yes Sweetie, you know I don`t talk in November"
Me (switching the light on): "Are you ok?"
Hayley: "I don`t talk in November in the evenings"
Me: "Why don`t you talk in November in the evenings?"
Hayley: "Because there is so much to do"
Me: "What is there to do?"
Hayley: "Decorations"

At this point she turns over and continues snoring leaving me snickering to myself for the next 15 minutes.

If it`s not the hand, it`s the mouth. What next?

ha ha - this one had me giggling too! i have a friend who does this. One time she fell asleep on the sofa, and she suddenly mumbles, so we say, "what?" and she says "You know..." and I say "Know what?" and she says "desktop handlebars..."

to this day cannot imagine what she was dreaming/thinking about.

i left the room after that, the other friend in the room tells me she proceeded to have a conversation about the finer points of chocolate.

"Desktop handlebars" HAHAHA!!! I cannot even begin to think what she was dreaming!

The best part is when you ask them questions and they answer! I always have such a good laugh.

Heather Nicole said...

haha! Thanks for making me laugh this morning!

Does Haley ever remember this in the morning?

The Running Golfer said...

Heather, no, she vaguely remembers something about a nurses outfit! It`s so funny!

Darryl said...

Both my wife and I do this occasionally, and I've actually woken myself up by talking.

Like you mentioned, at least this time it's wasn't the hand coming after you!
