Night Owl Meets the Early Bird.

(To set the scene: Pitch black bedroom, time for bed, wife is exhausted, husband is wide awake. This may or may not have taken place in my own bedroom.)

Wife: Good night.

Husband: Good night?? What??

Wife: I'm so tired. It's late. I threw up three times today. Good night.

Husband: Fine. I see how it is. But will you turn on the fan first? You're closer to the switch.

Wife: Ugggghhhhhhh

Husband: Please?

Wife: FINE. 

(Wife stumbles through the darkness, fumbles for the switch, trips back into bed where her head hits the mattress.)

Wife: Where are my pillows?

Husband: What pillows?

Wife: I'M TIRED GIVE ME MY PILLOWS THIS IS NOT FUNNY.

Husband: But what are you talking about? I didn't take your pillows.

Wife: GIVE ME MY PILLOWS.

Husband: You're crazy. I didn't take your pillows.

Wife: If you don't give me my pillows, I'm going to take my toenail and scrape--

Husband: Okay here are your pillows.

Wife: Thank you. Good night.

Husband: You're really tired? Are you sure? Why are you so tired? I'm not tired at all. I don't understand why you're so tired! It just doesn't make sense that you are so tired when I'm not tired and I don't get it!

Wife (pleadingly, pathetically, desperately): Puh-leeeeeeaaaaassseeee be quiet!! I'm SO TIRED!!

Husband: Fine. Good night. Are you sure? Really? Okay. Good night.

Wife: Good night.

(Ten minutes elapse. Wife, now angrily wide awake, waits until she hears her husband breathing steadily. Meaning: HE'S ASLEEP.)

(She creeps over to his side with a pillow in each hand.)

(She then commences to pound his face with said pillows.)

Wife: HEY HONEY WAKE UP DON'T YOU WANT TO TALK WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT'S SO EARLY WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SLEEP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!!

Husband (groggily): Oh. My. Gosh.

Wife: Exactly. Good night!

Husband: Oh. My. Gosh.

(Wife settles on her side of the bed and peacefully falls asleep. It takes the husband a little longer.)

And who says marriage is boring. Really. :)

  1. oh man the same scene happens in our bedroom often. My side is closer to the light switch and I always jump back into bed and throw my head dow to expected pillows with NOTHING THERE. I always get so stinking pissed too! haha!
    And then our conversation always plays out similar.
    Love it!

  3. HA! This makes me laugh almost as much as the time when Josh tried to 'scare' you into labor by sneaking up on you at work/while you were drying your hair. Sometimes I think you two should be on a sitcom. I would TiVo you, for sure. ;)
