So, I was sleeping. Enjoying resting after a trying day. My cat, Minnie was purring beside me. My husband was asleep. The fan was blowing cool air. The neighbors were quiet. All was good.
Then I heard my husband’s voice. He said something as if in a panic. The pie is in the drawer! I was half asleep and said, Why is the pie in the drawer? He answered, To keep the flying insects out. I have to close the drawer!
I said, Won’t the bugs get in the drawer if a pie is there? Without thought he said, Well I’m not going to go into the kitchen!
My mind starts thinking. Wouldn’t you keep a pie in the fridge? Why would you put a pie in the drawer? I started laughing thinking about the pie.
He gets up, in his sleep, and closes the dresser drawer. I ask about the pie again. He says, it’s an imaginary pie. I cooked two, and one’s still cooking. He went back to sleep. I started thinking about the pie cooking and started to laugh. If I wake up, and see a pie in the drawer, I hope it’s an apple pie.
