SETTING: My bed as the wife and I are preparing for sleep, both reading our devices.
THE WIFE– Hey, will you turn off your big light? I don’t want it messing with my circadian rhythms.
ME– (Turns off bedside lamp) The rhythm is going to get you.
THE WIFE– (BEAT) Well, that was mean.
ME– What?
THE WIFE– Why do you want to start me off to sleep with an ear worm like that?
ME– You mean to-NIGHT?
THE WIFE– Ugh!
ME– Uhn UHN,un-un-UN?
*Slap*
