If I woke up as an adult, I would wake up in a different house. I wouldn’t know where I lived. I would check out the house, see a clock that read 4:00 A.M. I would check out the house, go into a bedroom, and see two kids sleeping. I think, are those my kids? The house is giant. I go into another room. The kitchen. I see the garage, laundry room. Then, in the living room, I see a picture of me in a nice suit, with another woman in a bridal dress. Is that my wife? It’s now 5:30, and I decide to look around some more. There is a playroom upstairs. Then, I slowly open a large door, and find the same woman as in the wedding picture, sleeping in a bed. I go into the living room to reflect on what’s happening. I can’t remember anything! I finally remember one thing. When I went to sleep last time I remember, I was 12. Now I’m 34! At 7:00, I remember something else. A few faint memories of me playing with my kids. I decide to go back to sleep on the couch in the living room. I dream about memories. I woke up with a start. In my dreams, I dreamed about things that happened in real life before! I look at the clock. 9:00. At 9:30, I hear footsteps. I act casual. A kid comes down. He says “Good morning, dad.” I say “Good morning son.” He called me dad! So I am his dad! I asked him “Is your brother up?” He said “David? Yeah, he’s up.” A few seconds later, David came into the room. I said “How’d you sleep?” He said “Good, but James kept me up a little bit.” Then, I was thinking, good, I know their names again. James and David. At 10:00, my “wife” came into the room. I said “Good morning, you slept late”. She said “Yeah, What time is it?” I said “11:00.” She went over and made some coffee. I glanced into the kitchen and saw her driver’s license. It said: Age: 32 Name: Margaret Dickson. At 12:00, we sat in the kitchen and ate lunch together. It was a Saturday. I asked James if he has any homework. “No, I just have to read a little bit. 7th grade is kind of easy for me.” So he’s in 7th grade. I asked “David, what about you?” He said “No.” I picked up a phone next to me and checked the date. It said: MARCH 17, 2034. Carolyn, my wife, asked “Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I charged your phone last night.” I said “Thanks.” My two children went outside to play, and told me to come with them. I did, and they jumped on pogo sticks, rode bikes, and then came inside at 4:00. They got a snack, then asked me if I would have a pillow fight. I asked my wife, and she said yes. So, David and James tried to kill me with pillows, and I fought back. We were laughing the whole time. Then, Carolyn called us for dinner. My kids ran downstairs, and we ate dinner. After dinner, we went upstairs. My kids played video games, and I cleaned the house. At 9:00, my wife told David and James “Time for bed.” They said, “One sec mom!” My wife let them have 5 minutes, then they went to bed. My wife and I went to bed at 11:00. And that is my day as an adult.
You have an amazing mind, Cole. So many details swirl in your head!
I realized, you said on your wife’s drivers license, her name was Margaret but then a few sentences below, you began calling her Carolyne. I still enjoyed that a lot.
Oh yeah good catch Alex and thanks Mrs. Donnelly!
