As a young man I was a night owl/late sleeper. Getting me up for chores and school was often difficult. One morning Mom had given up and sent Dad up to “Get him up NOW!" I slept in the top bunk of our bunk beds so Dad stood just a little above eye level to a sleepy head like me.
 
I was having a very vivid dream in which one of the Ford tractors wouldn't start. I looked at the battery and noticed a hairbrush stuck handle first into the side of the battery. (Obviously a dream!) Dad’s gentle but firm call to get up was met by my sitting up, looking him straight in the face, and stating, “Somebody stuck the handle of the hairbrush in the tractor battery!” I immediately dropped back and continued my interrupted sleep.

I was only half aware of events in the real world but as I got up about a half hour later I dimly remembered Dad sort of responding with a startled “Uhhh…OK…ahhh….” as he turned and went back down stairs.
