Psycho Toy

Imagine you are fast asleep, it is 5 AM and your early rising baby has not woken up. You are in the middle of a great dream when you are awoken by a sound. You immediately assume that it is the baby and start to get up. But that giggling sound you are hearing is not human. You strain to figure it out in your sleepy state when you realize that it is a toy that has gone crazy.

Has this every happened to you? For some strange reason, one of the 1000's of battery operated toys you have in your house decides to go off in the middle of the night. It is enough to drive me crazy. Especially this morning.

I got up and walked to the game room and the toy stopped. I really wasn't sure what toy it was or where it could be so I just went back to bed. A few minutes later, the toy starts giggling again. This time Andy walks into the game room to try and find it. Once again, the toy stops making the sound as soon as he gets in there. He tries to figure out where it could be in the dark but realizes he is going to wake up all of the kids with his noise so he comes back to bed.

So, we get back comfortable and close our eyes and there it goes again. This time Brandon starts crying too. I start huffing and puffing about the darn toy and Andy is like I can't find it. By the grace of God, Brandon does go back to sleep. This is when Andy decides to out smart the toy and lays down on the couch waiting for the toy's next move. A few minutes later the toy goes off again but it has been outsmarted and Andy immediately spots it and puts it and us out of misery!

Of course, Andy and I never did get back to sleep so I am not sure who won - the toy or us!
