Zen-Den needed to get up earlier than usual to go to work. He set his alarm clock, but I didn’t hear it go off. He heard it and went into the bathroom to shower and shave. While he was in the shower I woke up. I often wake up early, so it was no big deal for me to get up. I went into the bathroom where he was now shaving. The following conversation ensued.

Him: Was it the noise from the light that woke you up?
Me: No, it was the light from the water running through the faucet that did it.
Him: Oh good. I didn’t want to bother you.
Me: Hmm… *smile*
{a minute of silence}
Him: What did you say? How did the light from the water running through the faucet wake you up?
Me: It woke me up because the noise from the light didn’t. *snicker*
Him: Oh.
{30 seconds later}
Him: What are you talking about???
Me: I’m talking about why I got up.
Him: What? Wait a minute… you knew what I meant!
Me: Yep. But it’s so much more fun to confuse you early in the morning.
Him: You make no sense.
Me: I know. *giggle*

… And who rocks at Mind Games 101?
I do believe that it is Ms. Bean.
Oh yes, I do.

You two are hilarious! So, did Z-D feel guilty because he thought he woke you up?

Beth, I don’t know. I doubt it. Only he can answer that question for sure.

For the record, Bean always looks so happy when sleeping that I don’t want to disturb her. And, if I were the one sleeping I would want to be left to my slumber.

Z-D, aren’t you the nicest boy? Good logic, my dear.

You both are very sweet. I’m so groggy when I wake up that probably both of you would have whooshed right over my head.

Zazzy, if I get a sound night’s sleep then I’m aware enough to hold a goofy conversation in the morning. But not much more than that… until I’ve had my coffee.

It’s so much fun to make early morning brain attacks on unsuspecting people. This was a good one!

Thanks. He started it with his mixed-up question. I merely answered… and waited to see if he was paying any attention to me at all. 😉

Were you talking in your sleep or are you always poetic early in the morning?

robin, this was an unusual situation. Most days we barely acknowledge each other in the morning, so I’d say “no” we aren’t usually poetic in the morning.

Hard to be poetic in the morning, isn’t it?

I would have been confused too.
In fact, I think I am.

Relyn, I know how you feel. Still, for once, I got the upper hand in a conversation with Z-D, Esq. Usually I’m the one who is confused by his wily turns of phrase.

Lovely! I miss my conversations with my husband in the morning. He was self-employed so I nearly always got up way before him. (except in summer) He was a laid back guy, but NOT a morning person, whereas I am. So, lots of fun and games!

Margaret, I sometimes think that it’s the ridiculous conversations in a marriage that hold the marriage together. Forget all the high minded concepts that religion and therapists toss at you. Stick with silliness if you’re in a marriage for the long haul!

Great bit of silliness 🙂

I am always the one up puttering around. My husband can sleep through anything. Alas I cannot. Water, light or noise.

Jamie, I’m usually a pretty good sleeper, if I do say so myself! But I do wake up early no matter when I go to bed. So getting up that morning wasn’t as difficult for me as it was for Z-D– who was not thinking clearly.
