Case 1: Sunday night. Lisa slept talked, conversed actually, with Ally who thought it was funny to ask her questions. Lisa went on to talk about the next day's events. She also said things like, "We can do this!" Lisa thinks it was all in preparation for her American Heritage test that Monday.
Case 2: Ally was peacefully sleeping while Lisa crawled into bed after a late night of reading. It was 2 a.m., Tuesday night. Ally rolled to her side and asked, "Does your Dad get a lot of Easter mail?" Ally continued with a question about the amount of letters Lisa's brother receives. Mid-sentence, however, she awoke and realized what she was doing. The next fifteen minutes consisted of laughing, calming down, then the other started to laugh again, followed by laughing-tears, then relaxing, and laughing again. A vicious cycle. Much like homelessness.
Case 2 1/2: That same night. Ally woke up to Lisa talking again. But really, who knows what she was saying?
On another note,
When Ally gets impatient with her Economics homework, Lisa likes to turn on some appropriate work-out music and make Ally do jumping jacks and high-knees at the same time. We also like to switch it up with some Tae-Bo punches, lunges, squats, and Ally's signature dance/workout maneuvers: all in that one song. We're really mastering effective study habits.
