1. Did you sleepwalk as a child? No not as a child, but as I got older and started working, I would try to do work in my sleep. I was asleep enough to think it was real, but awake enough to know it wasn't, if that makes sense. When I worked at Ukrop's, I would literally get up during the night and start walking around my room as though I was pushing a grocery cart. Or when I worked at the Sleep Disorders Center, I would sit up convinced I needed to be taking a patient's vitals, and I'd start looking for a clipboard. I told myself I was too tired and wanted to sleep, but then I'd argue that I needed to do this or I would be fired. I couldn't fully convince myself that it was the middle of the night and it was okay to go to sleep. Many times I'd try to tell Josh I needed my clipboard.... after this happened at 2:00am three or four times, he stopped being amused by it and started getting irritated at having his sleep disturbed!!
2. Did you ever try to run away or sneak out of your house? Run away? No, I told my parents multiple times when I was mad at them that I was going to run away, but let's face it, when you live on a 19-acre property in the middle of Beaverdam, and it's like 20 minutes to the nearest gas station (by car), how far is a 6-year-old who is scared of being outside at night REALLY going to get??
3. Did you have any imaginary friends? No, I really wanted one and I kept trying to make one up, especially based on this book "Jessica" that I had read where the girl had an imaginary friend, but I'd forget about her all the time. I was too lazy to keep track of an imaginary friend.
4. Did you ever go toilet papering? No I was boring lol!
5. Did you ever sneak tv shows you weren’t allowed to watch? We didn't have Direct TV until I was in 8th grade, so up until that time, all that was on during the day was soap operas and those were super boring. I did rent a rated R film in high school, but then my mom discovered it when it was time to return it, and she was NOT happy.
Yay! Glad you did it! Haha living in Beaverdam does make things a little more difficult to run away ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha yes it did! Even walking home from the front of the neighborhood after the school bus dropped me off was a hike that I hated as a kid, let alone getting any further than that!
