eric





















my husband is hilarious.
& part of his hilarity comes from something his family calls "the dixon sleep genes"

& eric is very affected {blessed?} with the very entertaining gene.

well..... this morning i was getting ready for work & he was snoozing in the bed.
*very, VERY asleep i might add.

then his alarm went off.
ps: it was the sound of ducks quacking.
why he thought he would wake up to ducks when he doesn't wake up to a blow horn going off is kinda mind boggling to me, but this night he chose ducks.

anyway, i hear the ducks & like always {at least a dozen times} i say, "babe/eric your alarm is going off."
which is code for turn off that annoying sound.
*if i didn't tell him to turn it off it would go off for seriously, like, an hour. or more.

so he turns over, & turns it off. as he turns back over i hear..........
"quack."
& then he goes back to sleep like it didn't even happen.
hahahahahaha

freaking hilarious i tell ya.

i love that man. :)

Well this definitely made me laugh out loud. I'm so familiar with the gene, and yet, there are always funny new stories to add to the collection. Thanks for sharing.
Quack!

I will never forget Eric falling asleep at the kitchen table shortly after returning from his mission, being "awakened" to go to bed, and subsequently falling asleep in multiple places on the way there, including the stairs, as I recall.

This sounds a bit like Daniel. I do believe those genes are inherited from Eric's mother's side.

Oh, that's awesome. Still laughing! Garry once had to practically carry Eric to bed...or else he would have slept on the hard kitchen floor.

i think eric has the worst/best case of DSG ever. he is hardcore entertaining. i remember he'd hook up his alarm to the massive speakers in his room & sleep like a baby through his alarm that was shaking the house. lol.
