Inspired by sleeplessness, a family tale of sleeping.

One morning, my father, soundly asleep, suddenly announced in a Churchillian accent, "Never has one doughnut, like one idea, had such importance."

He was promptly awakened by my mother's hysterical laughter.

No more donuts for him before bed after that, I bet! :-)

That's too funny!

One time while Scott & I were newly together, I didn't know yet that he is prone to talking in his sleep. So one night, he woke me up while very actively kicking his feet.

Your dad did tend toward the...erm...strange and usually unanticipatable
