Habits

This morning, my husband had to be up earlier than I liked in order to go have a flying lesson. (We won’t discuss the part where he didn’t end up actually flying until the afternoon, despite having gone up there this morning…) It was Saturday morning, and I was exhausted from the last couple days. Nonetheless, he finally got up to go fly.

After a few seconds, he says, “I’m gonna turn this light on,” giving me the warning he sometimes gives before turning on one of the lights in the bedroom.

Immediately, I responded with an exhausted, “WHY???” Just as quickly, however, I changed my tune to an easygoing, “Sure, go ahead.”

It took half a second after that before he cursed and we both started laughing. At least, I think we both laughed. I certainly did, at any rate.

Obviously, we were laughing because he had flipped the light switch to on, and no light came on… because we don’t have electricity still, from the storm Thursday evening. We both had forgotten, but I had remembered first and had used it to my advantage. 😛

And yes, we are idiots.

Thank you, God, for our silliness together. Keep us both safe, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
