Har Dee Har Har

Apparently I should not try to communicate with my husband when I have been in pain and have taken painkillers to alleviate aforesaid pain. The other night my husband and I decided to call it a night and put down our iPads to cease our internet surfing and shut off the lights. I was not laying there long when I decided I needed to go to the restroom. I made it to the restroom down the hallway safely in the dark, and then made my way back to bed. I was almost there when my foot bumped into something, jamming one of my toes. I immediately begin to cuss, hop around on one foot and inform my husband that *now* would not be a good time to ask me if I am ok.

My husband wisely listens to me and decides not to comment until I had managed to get in bed and position myself so I was able to again consider going to sleep. Naturally, he was curious about what I had bumped into and asked me what it was. To which I replied:

"Uh, you know, it's that dirt picker upper thing."

The bed starts vibrating with his silent laughter, as he asks: "You mean the vacuum sweeper?"

"Yeah, yeah.... whatever." I answer.

My husband managed to control his laughter for a few minutes and as we are laying there in the dark, he asks me another question.

"Why aren't you using that thing to sleep with?"

"What thing?" I ask.

"You know, the neck propper upper thing."

Uggh.. good thing neck propper upper thing was not in the bed or he would've been thumped on the head with it.

Actually, in the interests of accuracy, you didn't call it a "dirt picker-upper", you called it a "dirt sucker-upper". I countered by suggesting it was the "vacuum cleaner" or did you mean the "air whoosher". lol

I am *still* laughing... :)
