Fun with Sleep Deprivation

Not to belabor the point, but I'm constantly amazed at what sleep deprivation can do to the human brain. See if you can guess which of the following scenarios has happened to me and Kathy over the past four sleep-deprived weeks of our lives:

1. Baby cries in the middle of the night. Kathy wakes up, turns on the light, and prepares to feed the baby. Baby stops crying. Kathy falls asleep, but dreams that she is feeding the baby. Dave wakes up and asks Kathy why the light is on. Kathy starts to say "Because I'm feeding Riley," but then realizes that she is not holding a baby. Dave laughs at Kathy.
   
2. Baby cries in the middle of the night. Cat is sitting on Dave's chest. Dave wakes up and has a panic attack because he thinks the cat is a baby and that he has accidentally fallen asleep while bottle feeding his daughter. Kathy laughs at Dave.
3. Baby cries in the middle 0f the night. Dave and Kathy wake up. Dave asks Kathy whether she thinks it's time to feed the baby, and Kathy gives Dave a confused look and says "But I just finished feeding her!" Kathy then sheepishly realizes that the feeding was just a dream. Dave laughs at Kathy.
4. Baby cries in the middle of the night. Dave and Kathy wake up. Kathy says something to Dave. Dave's brain, technically awake but incapable of deciphering the English language, does not comprehend what Kathy said. Dave says "Huh?" Kathy repeats what she said. Dave again says "Huh?" Kathy repeats what she said. Dave again says "Huh?" Kathy says "Never mind." Dave says "Huh?" Kathy curses Dave.
5. All of the above.

The answer for those of you playing at home is #5 -- All of the above. Thank you for playing.

Today, of course, is Halloween. Kathy and I are sort of undecided right now on whether to try to dress up Leah and Riley in some way for the occasion. If we do, I'll post some a picture or two this weekend. In the meantime, a couple pictures to tide you over. First, here's Leah:



And, finally, here's Riley, giving a shout-out to all her homies:
