The Return of Sleeping Robyn

I have two stories to share with you from this past week.  I'm not entirely convinced that these happened while Robyn was asleep.  Sometimes  I think she messes with me for her own amusement.  But either way, I will share what I experienced and you can formulate your own beliefs.

The first experience I will call the midnight tapper.  I was sleeping like a baby when Robyn started to tap on my arm.  That seems to be her signature move.  My first time dealing with it I think I got pretty cranky.  It's now old hat.  My strategy to deal with it this time was to just hold her hand.  Apparently that's not what she wanted.  She seemed very offended as she pulled her hand away and rolled over.

The next experience was her revenge for my mean tactic of holding her hand.  Before I tell the story I have to explain the layout of our bed.  I sleep on the very edge.  Most of the time my bum is hanging over the edge.  Robyn gets about two thirds of the bed and she uses all her space.  She roams back and forth all night long.  I woke up and her face was about two inches from mine.  Considering all the space she has that's pretty close.

It was much like this precious moment between Harry and Ginny.  Only less precious because Robyn was (supposedly) asleep.

I opened my eyes and looked at her with her eyes closed for about 3 seconds.  Once she knew she had my attention she promptly coughed in my face.  Then she rolled over to her side of the bed and probably giggled herself to sleep.  She claims she remembers none of this and that she was asleep, but that just sounds like a good cover story to me.

  3. I PROMISE I WAS ASLEEP! There is no way I would do those things in the middle of the night just to be funny. I am not that clever. Just be happy that I give you such great stories to tell. Oh, and thanks for letting me have so much of the bed.

  7. You should get her back very cruelly. And probably very carefully.

  8. I thought the holding of her hand was a good way to take care of the tapping. The coughing was just a bonus!
