Incessant Chirping

Imagine you are The Husband, and your yammering (yet adorably charming) wife insists on talking to you even as you are drifting off to sleep.  This is what a recent night's conversation would have sounded like...

She:  What is that noise?
You:  What?
She:  That noise.  Is that a bird?  A frog?  A squirrel?  What?
You:  (listens for a moment)  I don't know.  (drifts off to sleep)

She:  Because it doesn't stop. 
You:  Mm...  (drifts off to sleep)

She:  It's like someone scraping bark off a tree or something.
You:  Hm?  Oh...  (drifts off to sleep)

She:  I wonder if I was fluent at Morse Code, would I hear just random scraping noises, or would I hear letters being spelled out?
You:  What?
She:  Because it's two or three short scrapes and one long pause.  Like Morse Code.
You:  Oh.  Yeah... (drifts off to sleep)

She:  It's probably the same two letters over and over.
You:  Ungh... (drifts off to sleep)

She:  It's probably "F" and "U".
You:  Ha!  Haa ha... (drifts off to sleep)


The next morning, you wake up and realize she stopped talking / waking you up / being adorable right after her joke, and you wonder if you'd have just laughed in the first place, maybe she'd have stopped talking a whole lot sooner.
