I had a long, nonsensical conversation with my sister the other night, in which she kept ordering me to bring her a "dog pet," then a "dog pillow," and got mad when I didn't know what the hell she was talking about. We went on in that vein for a while before I finally realized she was talking in her sleep. (Heaven help me, she's crazy even in her sleep!) She told me later that she didn't know what she was talking about, except that it seemed really obvious. Also...

[Upon getting back from having coffee with my sassy Jewish grandfather]

Sara: Where have you been?
Me: Oh, I met Mr. G----.
Sara: Where? At some kind of no-tell motel?

Sara: Remember that old TV show of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Do you remember, there was this one episode where they found a magic pizza box that was never empty? Like, every time they opened it up, there would be a pizza inside?
Me: How do you remember this?
Sara: I don't know. It's just stayed with me all these years. That, and Nils Karlsson the elf.
Me: The meatball is as big as they are!

I had another job interview this morning and miraculously managed to get to it on time, despite majorly oversleeping. I'm not sure yet if it's a job I want or will get. We'll see.

It is so much more enjoyable when you KNOW that someone is talking in their sleep. But I think it is so interesting when someone is asleep and carries on a conversation, it just reminds me of what a small part of our brain we are using. Hope you have a great weekend. aunt connie

Amazing! I don't know you but i'm so very contented that there are others in the world that remember that story. From Childcraft? Ugh, i remember getting teary how proper sad it was his sister had died (CHILDREN DYING WHA? -damn you Scandinavia and your dark tales!), mmm and yeah giant meatballs, and oh, how that cotton bed looked comfy. Woah. And then they bathed together in a jelly bowl, didn't they. Scandalous!

What was the magic word? touch the nail and say kilvippen or summat?

Anyways, carry on. NILS LIVES.
