the boy and i often have interesting discussions in bed before going to sleep. the topics range from human morality to the cuteness of wall-e. often, because we are in bed about to go to sleep, the boy is very sleepy. i think most people find it irritating or rude when their significant others doze off during conversations, but honestly, i thoroughly encourage you to try it. it's hilarious.
usually, the boy does not admit to being sleepy. for a little while he hides it effectively. i'm tipped off when he says something like, "yes, but caterpillar go sun it," or "why clown sink lawn?" when he snaps back to consciousness after the nonsense rambling, i don't say anything about it. the conversation continues, with him intermittently drifting off and speaking nonsense, and then waking back up to continue the conversation, believing himself to be a master of sleepy deception. the doze-off moments gradually grow longer, until he is literally snoring for several minutes before waking up with no idea that the time has passed. he will then attempt to continue the conversation with a generic statement, like "right, right" or "mmhm, interesting." at this point i can easily change the topic to something else, like why sharks look so good in pink, or that strawberries contain trace amounts of jelly beans. conclusions? because of the dorsal fin, and the government should seriously stop funding the FDA. we all know it's just a scam that secretly funds the preservation of ugly people.
