Steven FAILS at quiet

[devilgrrl]

Everyone see the Emerald Nuts/Robert Goulet ad? I live with that.

Since I'm kind of coming down with something, I figured that I would sort of doze on the couch. I told Steven this since he's occupying the same general space I am.

The actual moment I doze off, special sensors in his brain kick off. Like a lion sensing prey, he knows that I am just entering the realm of comfortable. Then, he pounces. He decided, while I was sleeping, to start to boil a dozen eggs, in hopes their calming sulfur smell would lull me into deeper sleep. Then, he peeled them by what I can only assume was smashing them on the counter repeatedly.

Somehow, I managed to sleep through this. I guess he took this as a personal affront to his failing at quiet, so he decided to drop heavy things, like his briefcase from a fair height. Then, he set about to testing every chair in the house for maximum squeakiness. After that, he popped open a bag of doritoes and started crinkle then loudly enough to wake the dead. Much to his delight, the squeaking/crunching was what finally woke me up. Mission accomplished.

It goes without saying that now that I'm awake, he has sat quietly in his chair for a good half hour. Not squeaking.

My husband does the same thing. Sometimes I fall asleep when we are watching tv and he will always decide to start talking to me once he notices I am asleep. Plus he will always wake me up if I am sleeping when he comes home from work. It makes me want to strangle him.
I hope you are getting some sleep and are feeling better.

That's funny. I kinda had a feeling all guys did that. I've earned the title "Capatain Stompy Feet" by my gf for finding the worst possible time to make noise. But it's fun.

My favourite is always asking "Are you sleeping?" when I obviously am.

Quite possibly you all have those anti-quiet sensors.
