Better halfs are always good for a laugh...
Tonight at midnight the bedroom door opened and Paul came walking out, fully dressed. He turned off the noise maker (air purifier in the bedroom, it helps me sleep during the day) and closed the door. I asked him why he turned it off and why he was dressed. He said I always get dressed now. I asked, "You're not going back to bed?" He said, "No, I'm up." I laughed. "Paul, it's only midnight."

"Oh. I thought it was 5:30."

Sigh.

Gotta love 'em.

What's something funny YOUR better half has done?

1. Got in the backseat of his car
Hubby took an extra job as a pizza deliverer to pay off school loans. One day, while NOT delivering pizza, he went to get into his car, and climbed into his back seat. He finally realized what he had done, so he started looking around in his back seat as if he were looking for something so people wouldn't realize what a doofy thing he had done. Sorry if this does not make others laugh, but five years after the fact, it still brings me to tears of laughter!

3. I did that once in high school
I got up, swore the alarm was going off and I turned it off, and took a shower. When I came out of the bathroom, my grandfather was standing there, asking me when I planned to go to bed. I said "Go to bed? I'm getting ready for school!" It was 2 AM.

When my son was in Kindergarten, I woke up one day with that feeling that I'd overslept. I got him up and dressed, and went to the school. When we got there, there were only a few cars in the parking lot. A teacher had passed away and his funeral was that day, and it was a small town, so I thought maybe they had cancelled school for the day and I didn't get the note. I stopped a teacher in the parking lot and said "Is there going to be school today?" She replied, "Yes, but it's not even seven yet." Oops! Back home...delivered the kid an hour later, on time.

4. My then better half promise me that if we had a child together
he would take half the night time feedings. He slept like a log. By the time I woke him up when the baby was crying, I was wide awake, and said Never mind, I'll get him. One night I came home from work exhausted, and re-arranged the bedroom. My side was against the wall. The baby cried at about 1:30am or 2, and I planted my back against the wall, my feet in his back, and shot him out the bed. He was enraged, but I went back to sleep. The next time I woke him up for his turn he woke up and took his turn.
