These Dreams Just Don’t Add Up
home, Husband/Wife, Math & Science, Texas, USA | Romantic | February 9, 2019
(My husband is absolutely not a morning person, rarely wakes to his alarms, and often talks quite clearly in his sleep. This conversation occurs when I try to wake him, after several other attempts, around 5:30 am. I have about an hour drive to work and we share one car, which he needs to use during my shift this day. Also — he absolutely hates math.)
Me: “[Husband], it’s time to get up. I’ve got to leave for work soon.”
Husband: “Okay. I’m awake.”
Me: “If you’re actually awake, you need to get out of bed.”
Husband: “I’m awake. Just a minute. We need to do math.”
Me: “…Math?”
Husband: “Yeah….”
(I leave him for a bit to make some coffee, then return to him snoring and try again.)
Me: “[Husband], are you going to wake up or just stay in bed doing math?”
Husband: *snapping awake* “Why the f*** would I do math?”
