Why Cohabitation is never boring

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

**Let it be known 2 things before reading: 1. Chris has a very bad habit of talking to me in his sleep, providing me with endless entertainment. 2. I am an instigator by nature, and I discovered that I can provoke these sleep conversations. Hilarity ensues. Case in point:
