Typical Marital Exchange Chez Antipo

Antipo (typing at computer in spare room, having arisen before dawn because of elusive slumber due to excitement about VIP Mystery Guests arriving in SEVEN days time) : *yawns*

Evil, Birthday Forgetting Husband (puts his head round the door without saying Good Morning): It's daylight outside.

Antipo: So?

Evil, Birthday Forgetting Husband: So you can switch the light off now and open the curtains.

Antipo: Oh! I thought you had come to say 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' for next year!
