Pillow Talk

A Tale of Two Minds

last night, we're discussing writing and various literary elements

HIM: [speaking as if his words are in quotes] "It was the best of both worlds."

ME: [confused look; the question "what?" uttered through my facial expression]

HIM:[smiling] You know...Emily and Charles Dickinson. They wrote poetry and Scrooged.

ME: [laughing so hard that I almost fall off the bed while reaching to turn off the light]

HIM: Don't fall!

ME: [still laughing] Yes, that would be funny--trying to explain to the hospital that I broke my arm falling out of bed, laughing.

HIM: [serious tone] Only your sisters would understand that.

ME: [laughing even harder because he's right!]


LIGHTS OUT

At least the broken arm would have been from falling off the bed, and not from having one of your crazy sisters push you off of it!
