Sleep Face

Anthony sat up, half-asleep, hair wild, face all twisted from a dream. Isabelle burst out laughing—and so did I. Just a sleepy, silly moment. But the good kind. The kind we all remember.


Anthony fell asleep on the couch watching TV.

I woke him up to get him to bed, and he sat up—eyes half open, hair wild, face twisted in some kind of dream state.

I think he was still asleep.

Isabelle saw it and could not stop laughing. And it was funny. We all laughed.

Anthony didn’t mind. He blinked a few times, smiled a little, and shuffled off to bed.

Just a silly little moment—but the kind that sticks. Because there are all kinds of ways to laugh in a family.

And when it’s kind and easy and shared like that—That’s the good kind.
