Hopping on the Olympic train

It dawned on me that we may have been watching the Olympic games a bit too much. They are seeping into our daily conversations and we fall asleep watching them at night.

Last night we woke up out of a deep sleep last night when the dogs began barking. While we tossed and turned trying to get comfortable Rod mumbled, "I was dreaming I was competing at the Olympics."

Being an encouraging sort of wife, as well as 3/4 asleep already, I urged him to fall back to sleep and just pick up where he left off his dream.

To which Rod groggily responded, "Yeah. I just have to get back up on the trampoline..."


Whaaaat?

Rod chose competitive trampoline jumping for his dream skills?

It's a dream! You could go for the gold in swimming or hurdles or wrestling or even beach volleyball, for goodness sake!

Really? Trampoline jumping?

Okay then. Good luck with that.

You and Lidna seem to have the same hairy leg problem. I suggested the Venus razor to her.

I think I dreamed about competing the other day as well. As a gymnast.

At least it's relatively safe to be a trampoline jumper! How hard could it hurt if you fall (assuming you land on the trampoline!).
