I don't get songs stuck in my head. I used to try because my
friends would tell me about the phenomenon and I wanted to see what it was
like. I could never do it. I really don't understand how it works. Aaron tells
me that usually it involves not the complete song, but a catchy snippet that
keeps repeating. I know when it's happening to Aaron because he shares whatever
is stuck in his head...over...and...over...again...
I do get words or
phrases that pop into my head randomly. Aaron says that's not the same thing
because they don't repeat and I can stop thinking about them if I want to, but
sometimes when I'm really, really tired, a word gets into my head that makes me
laugh and then I can't stop thinking about it.
Last night when Aaron
came to bed I was lying under the covers giggling helplessly. I tried to stop
thinking about the word. I knew he was tired and wanted to sleep. I kept
giggling anyway. Aaron was unhappy. He was more unhappy when he asked what was
funny and I choked out, "Lunch meat," then dissolved into giggles
once again.
Aaron sighed,
kissed me good night, and turned off the light. I have no idea how long I
laughed. I've heard of crying oneself to sleep. Last night I giggled myself to
sleep. And just in case you were wondering, nitrate and sodium laden meat of
questionable origin is hilarious.
