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.
