Men in bed …
Sander is always short of sleep when he starts reading a book. He comes to bed VERY late at night. I nag to him he should learn how to put the book aside and come to bed. He can read again the next day …
Besides the fact he comes in at hours after midnight bumping into the bed, the wall, you name it and waking me, it is extremely annoying HOW he reads, because he disappears from the face of the earth.
This time he is hooked to some ( consisting out of 12 books ) fantasy book from Terry Goodkind , called the Laws of Magic. A neighbour gave him those to read. I am sooo happy she did that ( NOT ), he is just through part 4, still 8 to go.

I am already in bed when Sander turns in a few hours later.
Me : Did you finish the book ?
Sander : Noop … why ?
Me : Because you are already here …
Sander : No, I did what you said and stopped reading … coming to bed now ! How proud are you !?
Me : Wow … never knew I really made an impression … ‘Goodnight !
S : Goodnight !
– trying to catch sleep –
Suddenly I see some light coming from the other side of the bed. I take a peek … and it is gone. I tell myself I am seeing ghosts ! Than again, I see a flash … now it is coming from underneath the blankets.
Me : Honey ? …
Sander : Yeaahhhhh ? ( In that naughty voice )
Me : What yaaa doing ????
Sander : What do you mean ? ( Playing stupid )
Me : OHH MYY GOD, are you READING !!!!!
Sander : I took a flashlight … and … well, I am IN BED !!! Why ? Is it bothering you ?

Me : Sjjeeeees Sander … Gosh, can you MAYBE put that book aside ???
Sander : Ohh alllright …
Can you see now, what I have to live with !!!! How my husband reads books. I can jump up and down, go purple, shoot a gun, he won’t hear it. He reads ??? He is gone. Than he gets a shortage of sleep … and this is his solution !
– sigh –

HAHAHA! I know how it is. My dear one can stay up and watch TV, a movie, read a book or play a game.
He just isn’t interested in getting to bed at a normal hour. I have given up on him really, but I am lucky enough that this one doesn’t wake me up when I am asleep.
My old b-friend always did and he to was allergic to go to bed whenever something more interesting could happen.
By the way, I have read 13 books by Terry Goodkind and I know that they are like another world totally. I also tend to warp into the books.
