Lunch conversation

The only thing stranger than supper (dinner for some of you) conversation at my house is lunch (dinner for some of you) conversation.
Some of today's topics included the fact (?) that the gunk in your eyes when you wake up in the morning is actually called "sleep."  So, when you rub the sleep from your eyes in the morning, you are literally rubbing the "sleep" from your eyes.

I looked sleep up in the dictionary to try and confirm this, but that definition wasn't in there.

"Sleepyhead" on the other hand, gets its own entry.

Oh yeah, my kids freaked out because an 18 month old had a butter knife.  Like that's dangerous compared to all the unintelligent stuff they've been doing (and still do) all their lives.
