Jhaaarb! Nature is SO beautiful. . .

Since I'm sure you're all already tired of school, I'm going to write about the summer.

One of my camp counselors (we'll call her Andie) is famous for talking in her sleep. On the first day, everyone in her cabin was warned that it was not a good idea to wake her up in the middle of the night, even if it was an emergency. Andie explained that her most common response to people trying to wake her up was "Go see a Chiropractor," shortly followed by "Go see a psychiatrist." Her least common response was to actually wake up.

So one day we were just kind of sitting around, and all of a sudden Andie asks, "Did anybody in my tent hear two people having a conversation in the middle of the night?"

Nobody had. "What do you mean?" someone asked. "Did you hear one?"

"No," replied Andie, "But I did wake up in the middle of the night, and I'm sure I was in the middle of a conversation with someone else, but I can't figure out who it was or what we were conversing about."

While she was saying this, another girl walked over. "Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Last night I was having a conversation with someone in my sleep."

"Yes, you were!" said the girl excitedly. "I heard that!"

Andie was getting excited now. "What did I say?"

"Well, you said something like 'Oh, nature is so beautiful.' And then Celeste said 'Rajrjaahh!' And then you said "I know, right?'
And Celeste said 'Vhgulzaar' or something like that."

This makes me kind of wonder what they were thinking in their sleep.
