Sadly sleeping Russell has been silent as of late other than the regular "Hey!" or "I'm just snuggle buggin'" or "huh? huh? What?" and then of course the random action of sticking his finger down the back of my pants while I sit at the computer... Yes he does that while sleeping and has no recollection of it the next morning.
I figured I would take this time of silence and fill it with some of my previous encounters with Sleeping Russell. You may have noticed my first encounter with Sleeping Russell is in my introduction. The second time Sleeping Russell struck it was very dramatic. I even had to calm him down and reassure him. It goes like this:
To set the scene,
I was laying in bed drawing as I sometimes do to try to relax before bed. Russell was sleeping next to me and then all of a sudden he sat up, looked right at me and said in a frantic manner
"Don't put bugs in the bed!"
"What?" I respond in utter confusion, since his eyes are wide open staring directly at me.
"Don't put bugs in the bed!" He repeats a bit more frantically, glancing around at what I can only assume were the bugs I had apparently put in the bed...
"I'm not.... there are no bugs in the bed"
Slightly uncertain this time with a slight shake of his head "don't put bugs in the bed...?"
"Okay Russell, I wont put bugs in the bed, now go back to sleep"
He seemed to relax a bit and then lay down and I went back to my drawing.
