80 O’Clock

Wonderful Wife: “Family, we will be getting up tomorrow at 8 o’clock.”

Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Awwww.”

WW: “Oh, I suppose you would prefer 9 o’clock?”

LMT: “How about… EIGHTY o’clock.”

WW: “She gets that from your side of the family, you know.”

(long pause)

Me: “What? Sorry. I was daydreaming about getting to sleep until eighty o’clock.”
