Wakey-time

 
Susan works night-to-morning shifts, so the normal procedure is for me to go to bed after dropping her off at work, get up in time to go pick her up. That, of course, involves me waking her at what would otherwise be my own bedtime. Tonight, our dialogue went as so:

ME: (going into the bedroom) Ten o’clock.

SHE: (sleepy) Five more minutes.

ME: Honey, every night I wake you at ten, and every night I give you another half-hour.

SHE: I know, but ‘five more minutes’ sounds better.
