Melancholy Metaphors*

Ben was sleepier than his mother.  (Who was chronically sleep-deprived from January 2000 until somewhere around 2007.  So that’s saying a lot).

Maddie was sweeter than an angel.

Ben was scarier than a dude who makes a mask out of the leg of his father’s old pants and writes “Sae Owt” (Stay Out) on his bedroom door.

Jack was stickier than a baby covered in marshmallow crème.  Mom was dumber than a post for keeping the marshmallow crème on a low shelf.

Ha! I love the Sleeping Beauty pictures! I also love that your family grabs the camera when you are passed out like that.

That is so funny and I love SAE OWT. Classic! Maybe you are narcoleptic? Hee hee hee... Tom always says if there was an Olympic sport for sleeping, I would win the gold medal every time!
