The "I'm in a Deep Sleep (or Maybe I'm Dead) Game"

This strange childhood memory popped into my head for some reason today.  When we were kids, my sisters and I liked to sleep together in the same bed. We all had twin beds- I don't know why we thought it was a good idea for 3 people to sleep together in one little bed, even though we were small people. We must have just really loved each other.  Anyway, here's a game I liked to play with them: I would pretend to fall into a very deep sleep- they'd still be awake, chatting away- and I would roll on top of them, and just lay there, like a dead weight.  They would yell at me and shove me and try to wake me up, but I wouldn't budge.  A few times they actually dragged me off the bed- in an effort to prove that I was really asleep I would sometimes roll under the bed; in order to stay in character, I would have to spend the night there.

I don't know why I did this.  I'm sure I thought it was funny at the time.  It would be kind of funny to do it to them now.
