6/26/08---My wife....sometimes she has trouble sleeping....

So this morning I wake up, and I'm rubbing my eyes and my wife says:

"Man, I did not sleep good last night."
"Oh yeah, how come?"
"Well, I wasn't asleep when you came to bed ya know."
"Yeah, I sort of noticed."
"Yeah, I had trouble getting to sleep...and well, ya know, with what happened in the middle of the night."
"What happened in the middle of the night?"
"You don't remember the smoke alarm going off at 3am?"
"Um....sort of...."
"You jumped out of bed and yelled...'what the hell is that!'."
"Oh...um...."
"And then I went to check on the alarm.....and Kellie and I managed to shut it off.  But when I came back to bed you had fallen back asleep."
"Oh....uh...sorry."

So about 10 minutes later we go out into the kitchen....and Andy is getting ready to leave with his mom for his summer job....and Kim asks him about the alarm.  Now, keep in mind that I sleep on the other side of the house from the alarm--Andy's room is right NEXT to the alarm.

"Andy," Kim asks, "did you hear the alarm go off last night?"
"Uh....no."

Kim looks at me and rolls her eyes.

"Hey," I told her, "maybe its a gender thing honey."

My family.  Safe and secure in their home with me, honed to a razor's edge.
