"I'm Not Snoring, I'm Listening!"

Paul tries to be a good husband even in his sleep! Last night I was laying in bed, trying to fall asleep and Paul (who by this point had, of course, already been asleep for at least 10 minutes) started to snore so I said "Paul, you're snoring". This tactic usually works. Paul isn't a bad snorer and when he does snore, usually just waking him up briefly will get him to stop so I figured last night would be no different. However, last night I made this statement and instead he responded, rather firmly, "I'm not snoring, I'm listening". I couldn't help myself, I had to ask, "why would you be listening?". He said in a sleepy voice "because you tell such interesting stories". I know it seems stupid to argue but I still said "but I'm not telling any stories, I'm not even talking". He said "of course you are, you just said something". At this point I couldn't argue any more because I was laughing and trying hard not to show it. He was totally asleep and yet trying so hard to say what I wanted to hear. It was so cute.

I tried not to think about the fact that he must do this so often that now it is something he can do in his sleep. I just enjoyed the moment and let the snoring go.
