    It was probably your company that makes her go to sleep.

    Given that she's only 14 thats probably just as well, Perv.

    Im terrible at falling asleep during films also. Many a DVD I have had to watch 4 or 5 times to get to the end.

    I suppose the fact that I fell asleep 10 minutes in probably should tell me that the films not really worth watching.
