"Okay everybody. It's time for some whale song. Get ready: (a full 13 seconds of tuneful humming) MMMMmmmmm, mmmMMMMMMmmm, mmmmmMMMMMm... Oh, I'm filled with so much humpback happiness right now."

And the wake up:

KAREN: (gently) Adam? Adam? Baby.
ADAM: (starts awake with hand splayed in a "stop" position in front of my face)
KAREN: Jeez!
ADAM: Don't hurt me.
KAREN: I didn't even move. I was just saying your name softly.
ADAM: Were you?
KAREN: Yeah.
ADAM: Okay.
KAREN: I didn't want to touch you because then you wake up all sudden and violently. So I just tried saying your name... I don't know how to wake you up then. There's nothing left.
ADAM: With ice cream. You can always wake me up with ice cream.

  5. You now have permission to take a whole tub of ice cream right out of the freezer and find creative ways to wake him up with it! :D

  6. I know what you mean about not being able to wake someone up non-violently. My late husband had that problem. He suggested I kiss him, but then he started yelling that he "couldn't breath!" But, I do have one question...why do you wake him up so much? It seems like you are always waking him!

  8. Maybe you could license a whale watching tour group to sell "I'm filled with so much humpback happiness" right now. Does that earn me an ice cream awakening?

  9. His whale song impression is pretty good. ;D And for once he isn't putting the whales down, by using them as a bad comparison.

  10. I think "I'm filled with so much humpback happiness right now" should be on a shirt!

  11. To paraphrase Lewis Carroll:

    "You may wake him with thimbles, and wake him with care;
    You may wake him with forks and with hope;
    You may threaten his life with a railway-share;
    You may charm him with smiles and soap...."

    But ice cream sounds much better...... 7@=Q

  13. I think the best way to wake someone with icecream is to spoon chocolate into a smelling salts vial and wave it in front of the wake-ee.

  16. Trying waking him up by ringing a bell. My wife wakes up more gently when I ring a bell. Has to be a good size bell though.

  17. Reminds me of the time my dad whispered to my impossible-to-wake-up kid brother, "the TV's free now, you can go play your ps2", and next you knew my brother had sprung out of bed.

    Good times.
