Monday: bang

 **BANG**

Ben half jumps out of bed and I, previously sleeping, actually jumps out of bed.  Ben is often in a medicated sleep, so any funny noises belong to me.  He asks me if he should go look, but by that time I'm half out the bedroom door.

I look around and decide it was just cats running through LEGO.

I go back to bed and tell Ben.  He doesn't seem to believe me.  He thinks maybe the ladder fell.  I say it was LEGO.

We go to sleep.

I wake up, and find the ladder had fallen.

So, in hindsight, I think I only had my eyes open 20% of the time I was looking around.  And by looking around, I mean looking in one spot.  And by looking in one spot, I mean deciding what to see and seeing that.

The whole story came out this evening when Ben came home and Isaac was cracking up.
