[Scene: Me, Him, and Me’s Bad Mood, sitting on the couch, chatting after a long day’s work.]

Me: Has my cell phone alarm been bothering you in the morning, or are you able to go back to sleep?

Him: Honestly, between you and the dogs, I rarely manage get a full night of uninterrupted sleep.

Me: [offended] Whatever do you mean?

Him: Well, between you flopping back and forth in bed and the dogs rattling their chains all night, I often wake up. Don’t forget, I’ve never shared a room with anyone before. I’m used to things being much quieter.

Me: [miffed] Well, is it that bad? I mean, should I sleep out here [in the living room] so you can get some sleep?

Him: [back-peddling] Oh, that’s not what I meant. C’mon…

Me: [interrupting]. Oh, don’t “C’mon” ME!

[Pause. Both Me and Him laugh hysterically. Exit Me’s Bad Mood.]
