Have You Ever Sleep-Texted?

When Taylor was a little kid, he used to sleepwalk.  There were a few funny things, like when he stood in the bathtub to go to the bathroom.. but there were far more potentially dangerous times.  Mostly, he would try to get out the front door.  Of course the door was locked, but he was able to unlock it and try to go outside.  Thank God Linda is such a light sleeper because she woke up every time. After the first attempt, she put a fold-over latch high up the very top of the door that he could not reach.  Once he went downstairs into a spare bedroom and pulled an empty dresser over, almost landing in top of him!  He outgrew it by the time he was 10 or 11.  It's a good thing too, it would be hard to stop a 200 pound 6'5" man from sleepwalking!  Dr.'s are now reporting the newest trend isn't sleepwalking, it's sleep-texting!  People are texting in their sleep and have absolutely no recollection of it in the morning.  Sometimes the texts are gibberish, but others are sending just crazy things like "The monkey is eating grilled cheese."  I would love to read what Tierney wrote if she started sleep-texting!
