Smack!

My wife slapped me awake this morning at 6:12am. It was the first time I've ever been slapped awake. She hit me, open handed square across my face. She didn't mean to do it. She was sleep slapping me. She apologized immediately but in a dazed coma, I cried out, "Why? Why? Why did you do it?" And that is how my day began. Slapped awake.

  1. This reminds me of a story my parents tell: it's around 6am, my dad is snoring, my mom lifts her index finger and pushes his nose sideways until he snorts awake.
