Andrew will argue about anything...
One of the traits that Andrew picked up me is that he likes to argue. This has taught me that it is not as fun to be on the receiving side. This comes so natural to Drew that he does it in his sleep. Last week was a perfect example.
I woke up around 2:45am and went into the hall. I noticed a glow coming from Drew's bedroom. He will often setup his laptop by his bed and watch movies, so I figured that he was up doing that. I went in his room to check and he was asleep with the computer open and turned on beside him on the nightstand.
Me: "Drew, turn off your computer."
Drew (half sitting up, half awake at best): "What?"
Me: "Turn off your computer."
Drew: "My computer's not on."
Me: "Your computer, beside you, turn it off."
Drew: "That's not my computer."
Me: "Your computer is on, right there beside you, turn it off!"
Drew: "My computer's not on."
Me: "That glowing thing beside you - TURN IT OFF!"
Drew shuts the top of his laptop and sits up at this point -- but still maybe half awake.
Drew: "That's not my computer."
Me: "Lay down and go back to sleep."
Drew: "That's not my computer. My computer's not on."
Me: "Lay down and go to sleep."
Drew lays down, I leave the room. Drew has no recollection of the incident in the morning, although he does still claim ownership of the laptop computer that was on the nightstand.
Note: I would have walked over the shut the computer myself, but that would be taking my life into my hands in the dark. The floor of his bedroom is what Drew considers to be fair game for storage and what his mother and I consider a hazard zone. Besides, I was having too much fun trying to figure out exactly what he thought that glowing thing beside him was and who it belonged to.
