The Wonderful Wife: “I’m exhausted. I just want to sleep for a week.”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “I can do your hair while you sleep.”
WW: “That sounds nice.”
LMT: “Where’s the shaving cream?” (walks away)
(long pause)
WW: “I will never sleep again.”

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.”
Most of it
I had no idea that such a high percentage of adult life would be just trying to pretend to not be exhausted all the time.
