Last night, at 12:49 a.m., Connor crawled into our bed. I didn’t even realize that he had come in the room, much less crawled in between Derek and I until I felt my earring being nearly ripped out of my ear. Suddenly I am awake and frantic. “Derek! Help! Connor is stuck on my earring. I’m caught! OW. OW. OWWWWW!! Get him off, get him off!” I was way less than calm about the whole thing, which of course sent Connor into hysterics. And the more hysterical he got, the more he pulled on my poor ear, and the more hysterical I got. Finally I heard a rip, and my earlobe was on fire. I was sure he had just ripped my ear in half, but luckily it was just the night time causing me to be way over dramatic about the whole thing. But my ear is really sore today.
I calmed Connor down and walked him back to his room. I asked him why he got up.
“Mom, an airplane just landed on our sidewalk and it’s lights are on and I wanted you to see!”
I sure am glad that I nearly got my ear ripped in half so that I could be a part of Connor’s little delusion.
Like I have said all along, Connor is one of the biggest dirtbags I have ever known. Times like this are just fortifying my position.
It is only about 10 or 11 weeks until I get to see you guys. All I was thinking about this morning was how great it would be if I could have diedrichs. Mmm, I miss my coffees in the mornings.
Love you, and hopefully I can talk to you some time this weekend.
LOL! I can see “drama queen” Megan freaking out in the middle of the night! I bet Derek woke up really confused!
Crack me up! I can think of a few other things you have done in the middle of the night – you need to give Connor a break!
