The Adult Table - and Josh Talks in His Sleep
Posted by Lauren in Randoms, Sleep Talking on October 23, 2005 | « Back to main
Last week, Josh and I were initiated into the adults club. We were invited to have dinner at the home of the Hebdons, friends of the Teague family. There were two tables- the kitchen table set for the kids, and the ADULT table in the dining room. Guess which one we got to sit in?
I think the only thing sadder than being excited to sit at the “big people table” was the moment when the kids asked each other if they wanted to go outside. My first first thought was that I didn’t really want to go outside. My second thought was that a sort of inner humiliation for omitting the past ten years.
The dining experience was very fun and enjoyable, even if it felt a little strange to see the kids’ table from where we were sitting. Josh and I talked on the way home about how it didn’t seem that long ago that we were considered kids.
The evening must have left a strong impression on Josh. I woke up around 4 AM that morning to listen to a five minute speech he gave in his sleep to thank the Hebdons for inviting us over. At first I was amused as I listened to him recap our previous conversation to Mr. Hebdon about the kids vs. adult table concept. But he was really grateful. I finally had to interrupt him. His argument: “I knew I was talking in my sleep, but I needed to finish in case he really was in the room.”

The other night, Josh tried to fix the bedposts (no, they’re not broken), turned on the lights, and sat on the end of the bed playing air guitar.

Oh Shua. You’re funny even in your sleep. Just don’t try to give Lauren any CPR, I dont want anything to happen to her. And La, congrats on the promotion to the adult table. We have spent many years together at the little kid table. Good times, good times.

NOTHING HAPPENED WITH THE CPR! Plus, it was kind of me — I thought I was saving my newlywed wife’s life. Josh and I are simply too creative for the amount of waking hours we have, that’s all.
But man, that makes me laugh out loud. So glad it’s not just me with this business.

Oh man, Lauren, I totally feel for you here. I had no idea Josh talked in his sleep, too! That’s hilarious! I’m so used to Beau nowadays that the other night when he was standing on the bed, reaching for the fan (something he had scarily done before…hmmm?…I never quite got an explanation for that one…), I yelled at him to stop and to wake up. He calmly looked over and said, “Honey, I’m just a little cold.” Bring on the stories!
What’s the age for the adult table promotion anyway?

I have to admit I am a little jealous about playing air guitar in your sleep. All I do is beat my wife up with my flayling arms and legs.
