Lack of Husbandly Sympathy

5 ^AM May 27, 2004

Sympathy:

Karen: I feel terrible. I woke up in the middle of the night with a tooth-ache.

Alan: Are you sure it wasn’t half past two?

Karen: It could have been, did I disturb you?

Alan: No, it’s just that it’s traditional to wake up at tooth-hurty…

Surprisingly, she let me off with only a dirty look.

Oh, you'll pay, alright. It'll come up out of the blue, later, when you least expect it. ;-)

Ah yes. Reminds me of when my wife was expecting one of our children. She shook me awake in the middle of the night to tell me that something was starting to happen. Unfortunately she began the conversation with "Are you all right?", to which I replied "yes", and went straight back to sleep.

She won't let me forget that one.

Reminds me of when my wife and I lived in a first floor flat in Brighton Road, South Croydon in London. Being the main round from London to Brighton, it's a busy road and, unsurprisingly, there were several pubs nearby.

At about 1:30am one morning I was awoken by my wife who informed me that there was someone ringing the doorbell. "Well, you'd better answer it then!", I replied before rolling over and returning to my slumber.

And she hasn't let me forget that throughout the last 15 years.
