Do you have one of these in your living room?
If you do, then I'm guessing you also have one of these:
This is NOT my Hubs, but you get the idea.
Picture this, if you will, which is a fairly regular conversation between The Hubs and Me.
It's 9:30 or 10pm at night. The Hubs is in his recliner and I'm on the couch, when I hear his breathing change--a telltale sign that he has fallen asleep, yet again.
Me: John
Hubs: *breathing and not responding*
Me: (louder this time) JOHN
Hubs: *still breathing and not responding*
Me: (louder still) JOHN!
Hubs: What? What the? What?
Me: You were sleeping.
Hubs: No I wasn't.
Me: Yes, you were. I called your name three times. Three. Times.
Hubs: Whatever, I heard everything.
Me: Um, OK. Why don't you go to bed?
Hubs: *glances at clock* It's too early to go to bed.
Me: But you were sleeping.
Hubs: Whatever. No I wasn't.
Me: Whatever. Yes, you were. Why can't you just admit you are tired and go to bed?
Hubs: It's too early to go to bed. If I go to bed now I'll be up at 4am.
Me: What is the difference between sleeping in your chair and sleeping in bed?
Hubs: It's not the same thing, and I wasn't sleeping.
Me: It IS the same thing--the only difference is in the geography. You were sleeping. If you're tired just go to bed.
Hubs: Whatever. I wasn't sleeping.
Me:
Until the next time he falls asleep in the chair.
