Funny Tanner

That man is always making me laugh. For some reason when he gets frustrated with me, he calls me by what he considers my full name: Christina Nina Jayne Embreus O'Driscoll Fullmer. Embreus is my maiden name, but O'Driscoll is his mom's maiden name. I told him that's gross because if that were really part of my name we'd be related, but he still does it. Whenever he says it I can't help but laugh.

Tanner started reading his books for school a week early, so a few nights ago, Tanner was dreaming about nodes (don't ask me what they are) and a fire suit that could create them. He woke up and thought it was such a brilliant idea he got up in the middle of the night and drew a diagram and wrote it down. In the morning he described it all to me and showed me the picture. I asked him if that really works or makes any sense and he said "No idea." I'm still impressed.

Also, one night, I wake up because Tanner is mumbling in his sleep. I open my eyes and see Tanner is facing me with eyes closed, but his hand is lifted about a foot over my head. I ask what he's doing and he replies, "I'd slap you both, but I don't want everyone to hear the pain." So, fearfully, I waited for the aforementioned slap. Thankfully, Tanner won over his dark side and simply put his hand down and was asleep. When I told him about it in the morning, we both couldn't stop laughing.
