Did you walk or talk in your sleep?

 Do I walk or talk in my sleep?

I don't walk in my sleep.

My wife says that I moan, groan, and holler, and say stuff that don' make sense.

Did you have any nicknames as a child? How did you feel about them?

My uncle Ralph, who was more like a brother, had a thing about calling people Henry. I was included. It didn't bother me at all. He was the way he was, and I accepted it. I think he might have thought that he was being funny.
