Silence

Last night I got into bed and coughed a bit...hmm..

Then a bit more...

And a bit more....

Then a long coughing fit...

I got up to get a drink of warm water...

Got back in bed...

Sneezed.

Got up for a tissue.

Got back in bed...hmm...

Coughed...

"Right...that's it!" yelled beloved husband suddenly....

"I've had enough. It's been four months and you are still coughing. I can't stand it any longer.

Rant...rant...rant...blah...blah...blah"

(You get the gist)

I lay there quietly giggling away while he continued with his outburst...hmm...

I waited until he'd finished ranting then I quietly said:

"I've put up with your snoring for 3 years"


Silence.


hmm !


______________________

We had yet another party this weekend..hmm....

He was taking ages to get ready.

As I was trying to get dressed and get a present wrapped and a card written...

He was more interested in doing a jigsaw...reading newspaper...playing with his cellular phone... singing in the washroom while shaving.

"What am I doing?"

I thought..."I spend all week trying to pursuade beloevd husband to do things he don't want to do...

hmm...I'm not going to do it this time as well.

I don't care if we gets to this party on time."

So I told him...

"The party starts in 30 minutes. If you want to get there on time...you need to get ready.

If not...you'll be late"

"I don't mind being late" he said...

"It's ages till the food anyway"

Silence.

hmm !
