Somnambulation

As y'all know I volunteer down at the county library. It has its rewards, particularly in getting information for myself.  We got this man who is known for his sleepwalking. I looked it up and found out it's called somnambulation. Sleepwalking has been going on for years like Lady MacBeth who wandered all around the castle at night. Josh Bowhowell, who read about this in school, used to joke about this scene as when she kicked the dog out of the house by saying, "Out, damn Spot." This local fellow that sleepwalks has been found in a woman's bedroom on three different occasions. This is a young woman who lives at home with her mamma and daddy and works down at the bank as a teller. The young man who somnambulates lives at home with his parents too. He goes to the community college down the road. Both households took measures to prevent him getting out of his house and into hers. They used locks and security alarms and nothing seemed to work. Turns out it was all a trick the young'ns had cooked up to be together. Her daddy sat up one night hidden behind a living room chair and caught his daughter dismantling the alarms and unlocking all the locks and letting her lover in. As punishment for both they made them get married. Just joking, Dorothy.
