Midnight Madness

Last night as we were lying in bed talking idly before sleep, I was explaining some mundane fact to Kelly. I gave my thirty second speech and got no response. I asked her if she'd heard me and she replied groggily, "Mmmhmm."

I doubted it, so I said, "Ok, what did I just say?"

The answer, "Giraffe."

Me: "What?" *followed by a fit of laughter*

Her: "I said that because I was thinking about a Giraffe."

This, I now realize, is a prime example of why discussions should be had with the lights on.
