The Weirdest Dream - Ever

I need to put this on the blog because it is such a strange dream...

So I dreamed last night that I was at one of those wildlife parks, you know, where the animals are right on the other side of a short fence so you get the impression that you are actually seeing them in their natural habitat. I was with the star of my dream, Lisa.

Lisa decided to go over the fence to hand feed a few small alligators.  As she was trying to feed them she was stepping over them and around them, not really paying attention to the fact that larger, monster sized alligators were right behind her. 

Those of us on the outside of the enclosure called out to her to warn her but she wouldn't listen.  The reptiles got under her feet and she kept walking backward toward the pool.

Our shouts got louder and louder.  Our warnings more urgent. 

She fell over and disappeared into the water.  The gators pulled her under.

I jumped over the fence and rushed into the water and grabbed the biggest gator there.  We wrestled in the mud and slime.  Somehow I reached into its mouth and found Lisa.  I yanked hard and pulled out a....banana.

A banana?!

Somehow - I knew - Lisa was inside the banana and all I had to do was peel her out.

And then I woke up.

Someone please explain this to me.

Family Moment #37

No pictures but a great moment tonight.

It was after dinner and everything was cleaned up.  TJ came to me and challenged me to a wrestling match.

And one broke out on the living room floor.  "Elbows" and "body slams" and "face claws".  Boys and girls.  Dad and Mommy.  Sis and brothers.


Pile-ons.

Screams.


Shrieks.

Battle Royal.

Laughter.
