Funny Words from Vince

Most nights Vince goes to bed before I do. I try to sneak into bed and not wake him but almost every night, at some point, he wakes up. He’ll either ask me what time it is or “Do we need to set a clock for in the morning?” But the thing he most often says is “Where did YOU come from?” I stick my Kindle under the covers and read for a while when I get in bed but when I turn it off, I snuggle up by him and that’s when he’ll say “Where did YOU come from?” That always makes me start laughing. Sometimes he doesn’t even notice and sometimes he starts laughing too.

Not quite the same type of endearing talk but every time he says this, which is usually three or four times a week, it reminds me of this video. He doesn’t say it like “I didn’t know you came to bed!” or “How long have you been here?” It’s like . . WOW! There’s a woman in my bed!

Once I go into my stealth mode (right!) to get quietly in bed, I feel like I’m sneaking. A couple of nights ago, just as I started to get in bed, and he heard me and he said “Boo!” Of course, that scared me and I screamed and then we both couldn’t stop laughing. After all these years, he still can’t believe I scared of everything . . especially at night and I can’t believe it still surprises him that I’m afraid of everything.

We don’t usually set an alarm but I had to go get blood work again today so I set my clock. When he went off, Vince said “Was there any excitement in the bedroom last night?” Oh my . . that struck me as funny and I started laughing. I said “Great! I should say YES! I can’t believe you don’t remember it!” I knew he meant . . did he scare me or did anything else funny happen or did I crawl into bed and go to sleep without incident.

He says such funny things . . mostly when he isn’t even trying to be funny.
