I thought I'd share the conversation I had with Terise last night. Well, it was more like a negotiation. You see, in several things,Terise and I are very different people. One of our differences is that I like to stay up late and drag myself out of bed in the morning (I don't really sleep in much) while Terise likes to go to sleep early and wake up early.
So, I was crackin' up the other night when I came home from school, had something to eat, and sat down to watch TV for just a moment before our nightly routine of negotiating the time we'll crash for the night. Variations of this conversation happen for us at least 3-4 times a week, so I thought I'd share:
Terise: So, we're going to bed at 10pm?
Brian: Huh - No, I just sat down and I have some reading to do.
Terise: Remember, we have to wake up early.
Brian: Yeah, I know. Ok, how about 10:30.
Terise: How about 10:10, and you clean Christopher's dishes.
Brian: 10:25, no dishes.
Terise: 9:50
Brian: Huh? (confused look)
Brian (to Chuck): Where did you find this girl?
Chuck: (chuckling to himself)
Terise: Ok, 10:00 and no dishes.
Brian: 10:20, no dishes.
Terise: 10:10, no dishes - and you have to start reading. If you stop reading, the deal is off and we go to bed.
Brian: Deal.
