Things I slept through this morning, according to The Fella:
- yardwork and a leafblower just under our bedroom window
- someone yelling at those workers to SHUT UP
- children yelling and playing
- a loud and long alarm in the building next door
Things I slept through in my dream:
- my dream-self peeing (which normally snaps me right out of a dream)
- Zooey Deschanel dropping off a yardful of rambunctious children at my quiet and sedate daycare
- someone yelling at Zooey Deschanel’s noisy brats to SHUT UP
- a loud and long alarm in the building where my dream took place
- being Lily Tomlin
What was it like, “being Lily Tomlin”?
Noisy, because rival daycare owner Zooey Deschanel had just dropped off a passel of howling toddlers in the yard of my (Lily Tomlin’s) daycare center while I (Lily Tomlin) hollered at her out of a gable window to gather them up and haul ass. It’s amazing I slept through it. Lily Tomlin (I) yells LOUD.
