Uncle Walter, sleep talking: “Oh, good.” (Said quite sarcastically)

Me: “What?”

UW: “You were shopping for vegetables in the bathroom.”

Me: “Ew.”

UW: “I don’t want toilet vegetables.”

Me: “I mean, neither do I.”

UW: “Where do those grapes really come from? Wait, that’s fruit.”

#uncle walter #sleep talking #why is it always about food?#how tf can he distinguish between fruits and vegetables IN HIS SLEEP?#that takes some talent #that man’s dream life must be hilarious #how can he convey sarcasm in his sleep?

Uncle Walter, sleep talking: “Please stop trying to take my recorder.”

Me: “Tape or musical instrument?”

UW: “I have a concert.”

Me: “Oh, god, I’m going to have to listen to Seasons of Love again, aren’t I?”

UW: “You have to go to my concert.”

Me: “Noooooo. Not Seasons of Love again.”

UW: “You have to.”

Me: *sigh*

#uncle walter #sleep talking #at least it’s not about food #I have been to so many school concerts #and they ALWAYS play or sing Seasons of Love #also there is no torture quite as annoying as a *recorder concert*

15 minutes late, but:

Happy *twenty-first* birthday to The Kid! Super proud of you. I’m sure the day wouldn’t have been so anticlimactic if people had been carding you before. Alas!

Keep being awesome!

My kids, they really get me. 😆

In case you don’t know why this is hilarious, here’s some context.

Gotta keep people from assuming the worst somehow!

#the kid #tw: death #but it’s funny not sad #the kid gives the best gifts #mostly hazel #Zelly Thomas #not dead just asleep #not dead just napping #insomnia sucks #I still don’t know how this happened TWICE #I snore REALLY LOUDLY too #so how they thought I was dead is beyond me

On February 10, 2023 we accomplished yet another goal. We managed to raise our second (and last!) child to adulthood without horribly traumatizing them!

The Boy is funny, kind, compassionate, empathetic, and sincere. He has struggled through and overcome a lot of adversity, and we are so proud of the man he has become.

We could not have asked for better companions for this journey. It’s been 18 years of awesome, just like your shirt says. Happy Birthday!
