I don’t know how you are when you’re in sleep mode but for me … when I was younger (20’s – 30’s) when I slept, I slept pretty hard.

One day when my boys were young I fell asleep on the couch while they played. When I woke up, my youngest “O” had something purple in his mouth. I’m guessing he was around he was around five years old.

I asked him what was in his mouth and he showed me this little purple piece of plastic. Yikes! I told him not to put random things in his mouth and as most mom’s do, I probably ranted a bit about what goes into the mouth and what doesn’t. Ok for me, I probably ranted for longer than a bit but I was groggy so I’ll give myself the benefit of the doubt.

He told me he had asked me (while I was sleeping) if he could put it in his mouth and I said, “Yes”. Then we had another talk about how not to ask me questions while I’m sleeping.
