A temporary truce of sorts, cant live with em, cant live without cm. could catch pneumonia like this. Now gi ve me my share of the dang blanket! That is exactly what I want to do.

I decide to snuggle in as close as I can, and glean whatever warmth I can from my life long partner, the I have thought about pretending like I am sleep walking and doing something that really annoys her, like leave the toilet seat up when-- am finished, or down when I am using it, and then claim that I am exonerated person I frequently share my pillow with, the very person I have given the last bite of my candy bar to. As I snuggle in, she lets out a warm comfortable whimper like a happy from all punishment since Hey, I was sleeping. Thats your problem if you didnt look first.

If I grab the blankets and pull real hard I think that she will spin all the way down the hall. I chuckle at this image in my mind... it brings me some happiness, but no warmth.

While she is talking I snuggle in and whimper. Her mothering instinct is awake even though she probably isnt. She says, OOOhhhhh honey, youre so cold. Youre going to catch pneumonia like that! Come here. She pulls me under her arm and throws the blanket over me. I am happy again, but plotting my revenge.
