It Happened Again

My husband and I have had an odd tradition ever since we started dating. When we wake up, our pillow talk consists of me telling him what went through my head while I was off in Dream Land. My dreams have always been so vivid and loud that I remember everything down to the smallest details, and my unconscious brain comes up with some pretty good stuff! He is always amazed and enjoys the daily story telling.

Two days ago, when he asked about what has essentially become his early morning entertainment. I was still thinking over the details and said, "I'm not sure... but I just really feel like I have to ask Nurse L if she wears leggings. Is that weird?"

(In the dream, I was simply watching TV with Nurse L when a news story came up about someone that died. I realized it was someone I'd gone to elementary school with and the news channel played a quick slideshow of photos. It quickly flashed a 5th grade picture of me and I said, "L! L! Look it's me!! I'm on the news! Look at my awesome leggings!!" She slapped her hands on her knees and said, "I LOVE leggings!").

I wasn't planning on asking her because it was just such a silly and pointless question. She only wears scrubs to work and it wasn't going to make my life any different to know what she wears on her own time. But then she showed up for her shift and I couldn't help myself.

Me: "L... I have an odd question for you."
L: "Oh, let me sit down. Is this gonna be another good one?"
Me: "Eh, not really. I was just wondering if you wear leggings?"
L: "Leggings... like spanx?"
Me: "No, leggings like what people wear with a dress."
L: "Yea, I wore leggings and a dress yesterday."

Dan was in the room and snapped his neck towards me so quickly with a "WHOA" expression.

Sure. It's nothing significant, but I am starting to intrigue myself.

Then she said, "Oh, and..."

I cut her off at that and said, "Yea, we've also noticed that [insert name of a specific medicine for Son that is only given on as 'as needed' basis] does seem to make a difference, too. Feel free to use your discretion about using it."

She paused for what seemed like an extremely awkward amount of time, tilted her head, and said, "How did you know that's exactly what I was going to ask you?" Her and Dan were both staring at me at that point, but Nurse L had her eyebrows furled up in a questionable manner as if she's wondering about what exactly just happened.

As Dan was staring at me, still looking mystified, I asked him, "Do I have to add you to the list of people that think I'm crazy?"

And he replied, "I wouldn't have married you if I thought you were normal."

I love that man :) .
