We had been watching a movie but I was too tired so I decide to go to bed half way through the movie. You were enjoying the movie so much so you decided to continue watching anyway.
I fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Don't know how many hours had passed when you finally finished watching the movie and came to bed. You climbed onto the bed, half-laughing. I woke up and opened my eyes and saw you getting ready to bed.
'How was the movie? Jim Carrey is super annoying in it' I said, adjusting myself into your arms.
'It was great, the ending was awesome,' you burst out laughing, 'the ending...' you laughed again, not able to bring yourself to finish the story, 'he had a drill in his hand, and he said 'I'm going to put this drill into my head' and he did! And his eye...,' you chuckled then started laughing again. 'It's funny. You should watch it.'
'What did he do? A drill?' I asked in disbelief and grogginess.
'He put the drill into his head,' you repeated, laughing again, 'it's so funny,' and then, like a child, you repeated the story again. Just like a location joke, I couldn't really find it funny so I just pretended to listen and smile, amused by your excitement over Jim Carrey's acting and the silly scene.
'He's so funny, it's so stupid,' you said, 'he put a drill into his head, and he said, it's dangerous and I might lose one of my senses, leaving me with only five,' you tried to tell the story again, still laughing, this time adding more details. I continued listening but falling asleep at the same time.
'Never mind,' you said, after noticing me dozing off, 'you have to watch it to understand why it is funny,' then you pulled me into your arms, held my hand tightly on your chest and we both were slowly falling asleep.
I remember this conversation because like a child you were very excited over a funny scene in a movie and simply wouldn't stop trying to retell the story. It was funny to watch and I loved your boyish behaviour.
