Ana had fallen asleep on the train. Well, I get her out of the train, and have her sleepwalk up a flight of stairs and an escalator (I had a lot of bags). At the entrance to the station, a cop stops us to say "She's asleep!"
(Yeah, no duh)
I don't say that, exactly, I just say that I really don't want to pick her up, and she's safe sleepwalking as long as we go slowly. Then it occurs to me... "Hey, if you finish carrying her up this last flight of stairs, it'll be pretty easy for me to get her to the boat."
So she agrees, and Ana gets carried upstairs. Naturally, this causes her to wake up entirely...
As Ana has woken up, the cop starts talking to her...
"Hey, Mami, you're awake! I bet you had a nice dream, huh?"
Ana just woke up, but she knows there's something wrong with this sentence...
"NO! *laughs* I not Mommy!"
"No? So, who's Mommy, then?" (Obviously expecting Ana to point to me)
Alas, Ana wasn't quite up to this sort of abstract questioning, so she just waved her arms vaguely and shook her head to indicate "Look, I just woke up, don't bother me with this sort of thing! It is far too early in the afternoon to be having this sort of discussion!", leaving me to explain that, no, I'm not Mommy either. See, it even says so on my sling!
Of course, Ana didn't fall back asleep the rest of the day, but such is life.
