Oh Meg! I don't mean to laugh but I just couldn't help it!
I think it's because so many of us have been there done that so it was easy to relate and picture the whole scene. There is nothing worse than claws anytime but when you're dead asleep it really freaks you out!
For two years straight our alarm clock went off at the same time every morning. For some reason it went off one morning and Sammy had some kind of short circuit and bolted across my face! He ripped my lip wide open and scratched me from below my eye down to my chin! After the initial pain the worst part was trying to explain to coworkers what happened!
Tell Mark we sympathize! How did he expain those "holes" in his face when he went to work?
