Sleep Walkers

Mom told me that my youngest nephew has begun to sleep walk. "It could be dangerous!" she said.

Nah. When I was a little kid, I did some weird stuff in my sleep. Once, I woke in the hallway on the floor with a sleeping bag and a pillow. Don't know how I got there, or why I had a sleeping bag!

My sister says she found me in the hall one time, completely asleep and crying like a baby. Literally crying!

She also found me asleep on the toilet, though I think I was awake when I originally went into the bathroom.

Although, in retrospect, yes sleep walking can be dangerous. My mom knows someone whose son had a horrible sleep walking problem. He jumped out of a window, totally unaware of what he was doing, and no--he wasn't suicidal.

Man, that's not funny at all. I gotta get back on watching the news or something. I must be seriously blocked.

My grandpa walked about a mile in his sleep to his grandparents house when he was 9 or 10, then he hid in the bushes. Of course, this was years ago. Now days he'd probably get shot!

Mandypoo used to do weird things in her sleep all the time. We would find her all kinds of places...under the pool table, at the end of the hall in an Avon box, in her bed with Mr. Potato Head glasses on, sleeping between the 4 legs on a bar stool...yes, we have pictures of all of the above.
