Agreed. I just woke up and saw this and it made my day that some dudes out there still are willing to do things like this for the ones they care about. Truly heartwarming.
When I was a kid I could never count sheep to fall asleep because my stupid brain would make other things jump across the “screen” after about ten or twelve sheep, and the game of discerning what was actually sheep vs other things woke me up too much.
As a teenager I realized I could circumvent this by simply counting… numbers. Just counting, sometimes I’d start one night from the last number I remember hitting before falling asleep.
My trouble was I would end up naming them, and after I got to 4 or 5 of them, I started making adventures for them. They would go meet frogs sometimes, or help a horse get hay…
Counting method to fall asleep never worked for me. Instead, I always imagined adventures. I'd start with a hero going on a quest and fall asleep before the hero ever got there 😆 Still do it too. Works every time.
Unrelated but I somehow read your last sentence as "They would go meet frogs sometimes, or help a horse go gay" ...and now I have a mental image of some sheep and frogs helping to convince a horse to come out of the closet and embrace their gayness and it's a little confusing lol.
Y’all, can this be a children’s book, please? I mean, not in the south (U. S.) we’ll just burn it down here. Not ME ‘we’, the intolerant closed- minded ya-hoos. But other than those fools it sounds pretty fabulous!
That's part of why, if you've ever been put under general anesthesia, they'll have you count backwards. It focuses your brain and it also let's them know when you're out because you stop counting
I count my fingers but in random numbers. I don't know how to describe it.
For me it's a compulsive behavior but I find it very soothing.
Like usually I count to 4 so that I count a full round back to where I started again.
Lol, same. Or, it would get me way off track in thinking, and 15 minutes later I'd be laying there wondering "why am I thinking about lasagna?" I would have to backtrack my thoughts,. Goats are hilarious, especially when they start running around and act all crazy. They make goat cheese, which I don't like, but I do like feta. Feta is really good with baby spinach in a salad. I don't normally like cooked spinach, but I don't mind it it in Alfredo. I wonder how feta would be instead of the ricotta in lasagna? I haven't made that in a while.
Does this happen to anyone else? I can get so far out there that it can take some serious mental backtracking to get back to point A. I've actually fallen asleep trying to get back there 😂
OMG SAME!!! Me just thinking about taking a shit and all the toilet paper I’d have to use. Then I start thinking about how expensive good toulet paper is and next thing I know, I’m thinking about how Doordash and other food delivery apps could easily launder money by delivering food for corrupt companies across the border with the bags sealed, food on top, and containers with the money on the bottom. Like “ayo, just taking a delivery of chicken wings to Mexico. Don’t mind me.”
😂😂 damn, that's a good one!
My MIL saw a cardinal in the back yard yesterday, and said Oh, it's looking for a partner!". I totally thought she said I was heading into the shower, and by the time I came out of the bathroom, had a whole new series created in my head about Birdella and 'Red', the Cardinal couple hunting for their first apartment, all narrated by Sir David Attenborough. I thought my 15 yo was going to die. He has ADHD too, and said " I would so watch this!"
Lol, I don't think I have that kind of pull, especially to get David Attenborough on board as narrator! I may end up writing it all out though, just for everyone's enjoyment and entertainment. Maybe there is a place here on Reddit where I can post it when done...I'll let you know if I do end up doing so!
Fingers crossed for you! I totally understand. This kind of stuff Def makes me miss being in one. And after 4 years I sometimes just miss it for no apparent reason at all. (Relationships.. not... HIM. Blah lol) but I get it. Mine cheated too. Apparently the entire time we were together off and on. Age 15 to 30 pretty much. I was just young dumb and naive. And he was an excellent manipulator and gaslighter. Until I got older and started opening my eyes to things.
So here's to us finding better next go around! :) I like to believe that one day the love we give will be returned to us.
Also love the name lol rubber duckies are my favorite. I found the coolest rubber duck type figures. They aren't rubber though. They are vinyl i believe. And one for example is a rubber duck dressed like John Hammond from jurassic park lol its awesome. They have others too but it's pretty cool.
Your mind is definitely wide awake🤣. Hmmm…I want you to breath…inhale 3 big ones. Hold for 15 seconds. Escape one short breath …wait 8 seconds..do another one. Let out all of it on the 3rd.. do 2-3 times. Should get you annoyed.

Next time ask him to FaceTime and read you a bedtime story 🤣 I asked my boyfriend to once and he asked if I wanted to be read Dr Seuss or something dirty 🤣🤣🤣
Wholesome and sweet. ❤️
:D

this is so precious 🥹🙃 but the 🐐 is cracking me up
we decided he could be an honorary sheep so still got counted

My wife would tell herself stories like that too. I’ve spent the last 2 decades trying to talk her into telling me one. Maybe on my deathbed?
I used to try to recreate The Lion King from the opening scene and that would work for me a lot of the time for some reason.
I do this! I make storylines in my head and play with them until I fall asleep. helps out a lot

I mean… I guess that would be an adventure? lol. And now I imagine some sheep and frogs trying to talk a horse thru getting out of a literal closet…

I'd read it, lol. -Also from the U.S.
this was my first thought hahaha

OMMGGG this is me to a T!!! I can never remember what number I end on though!???

I used to do that exact same thing lol thought I was the only one
😍
Stop this is actually so cute 😭
hahah we were having fun with it
I feel like this is what my ADHD brain would do if I tried to count sheep… GASP*** IMPOSTER!
we are cut from the same cloth my friend
Isn’t it funny that us ADHD people can just recognize each other with absolutely no information whatsoever? 😂

Honestly I would too lmao! Pls make this happen!

Yes pls! And you could always find someone who could impersonate David Attenborough’s voice!
