More on Mike

Last night at about 2:30 am right after Mike goes to bed after homework.....

Mike: "What is that sound?"

Me: (Half asleep) "I don't hear anything"

Mike: "It's something in the attic! I'm tired of having an old, run-down house! It's something in the attic! Something is broken in the attic and it's going to catch on fire and burn down the house.

Me: (Half asleep, questioning, once again, my husband's sanity) "I'm sure it's nothing.....I really don't hear anything.

About twenty minutes later, after I've just fallen back asleep.....

Mike: "There it is again!" (getting out of bed, and heading toward the offending noise) I know it's something in the attic that's broken. I can't sleep! I can't believe you can't hear that! We need to fix it now or it could catch on fire..... (now at the window) .....oh, it's just the rain on the window, nevermind....

Me: (Long pause) ..... (cue hysterical laughter)

When I try to explain Mike to people I know who haven't met him or really don't know him, I usually have to use stories. He is so unique and quirky. I think this story sums him up pretty good. If there is something on his mind, it has to get done! We love our Daddy around here.
