Wisdom learned while my husband sleeps

My darling husband talks in his sleep. Sometimes he gets up and does things while sleeping, but usually he just talks. I’ve been writing down the stuff he says in a notebook and decided it was time to share some of the weirdness.

I have absolutely no context for any of this, as he doesn’t remember saying any of this.

  1. Fuck you, teddy bears!
  2. Manhattan Island is not for sale.
  3. Remember not to smell like a horse if you sweat.
  4. What is it with those powdered wigs?
  5. The curtains don’t always match the drapes. (He was trying to sound like Jimmy Stewart when he said this one.)
  6. Wisdom is sound. (Then he began to snore.) Unless it comes easy. (Back to snoring.)
  7. Hey! Your underwear needs to match your pants.
  8. Oh yeah, well, golf is a game that requires balls, not… (I have no idea, he started snoring)
  9. (This one was done with two voices as if he was playing two parts in his dream.) There are nuggets of wisdom in nursing homes. (Then in a higher pitched voice) But not nougats, they’re in chocolate. (He laughed and then snored.)
  10. (This one was with an accent) Sex without oneself is better with two.

I love my husband, but his dreams are weird.
