Insects

A man and woman in bed, man sitting up, obviously awake. Woman on her side, sleeping.

Man: “Honey, are you awake?”

Woman: “Huh? What?” Pause. “What do you want?”

Man: “Are you awake?”

Woman: “I am now.” Pause. “I was just in the middle of a dream. It was so real. I was playing an insect on stage.”

Man: “What did it sound like?”

Woman: “What did what sound like?”

Man: “Playing an insect. Is it like a trombone, or more like a violin?”

Woman: “I wasn’t playing a musical instrument. I was an actor, playing an insect, on stage.”

Man: “Oh.” pause. “So, if you are awake when are you getting up to make breakfast?”

Woman: “How about some grass?”

Woman gets out of bed and starts to pull up grass from around the bed.’

Man: “We had that yesterday.”
