My 6-y-o daughter usually sleeps really solidly over in her room and is not easily woken by sounds she's accustomed to. But this morning she told me over breakfast, "Dad, you and Mom made the weirdest noises last night and woke me. First Mom kind of whined and sounded as if she was gonna sneeze.

My kid is growing, and I'm of course ambivalent about it. It's not that she's becoming some sort of giant---she's still a tiny little thing, but now she picks up books and starts reading them. When she does, I usually start shouting excitedly, but she reminds me that I'm not allowed to be excited…
ROFL!
Keep it up until this also becomes a sound "she's accustomed to". Soon enough everyone is happy, a bit tired, but happy. It's all good.

At least she told you, not her friends and teachers in school. Or maybe she did...?
I figure a happy marriage is nothing to be ashamed of. (-;
Yeah, but that ain't no elephant's trunk, LOL.
Hilarious!!
I think it's fascinating that she could identify that it was you, even though it sounded like an elephant. (Were you stomping around?) Modulation of characteristic sound patterns, hmmm.
