Anyone who did that to me would definitely be a keeper.
Absolutely. After the shock wore off, I could appreciate the humor. Plus, she stayed with a comatose husband for years, that’s admirable too.
A goalkeeper?
Of course, goalies are known for their luscious locks.
“Oh okay. That explains the grey hairs.”
“Are you sure it was only 2 years? Those crows feet make it seem much longer”
If I saw my SO with significantly longer hair, I would assume that either I misremembered how long it was, or that it just grows super fast for them.
“Hmmm, something looks different about you, but I just can’t put my finger on it. New pants? New lip gloss? Are you ovulating?”
When I was younger, I took to taking long, deep naps after school. I would get home around 2:30-3pm, and would wake up when my folks would get home and sit down for Jeopardy (around 7:00-7:30). Of course this was the time of day that was nearly indistinguishable from dawn, despite my parents sitting on the couch watching Jeopardy.
They must’ve had a good time watching me run back and forth between the kitchen and my room while trying to get ready for school. This happened multiple times, and never once did they say a word to me about it.
It’s fun to prank yourself.
I had something similar happen to me once, but I didn’t wake up until maybe 8 or 9 PM. It was summer-ish so it was dusky out, and I was super convinced I must’ve slept all night and that it was morning, even though the sun would have been up well before 8 or 9 in the morning at that time of year. I wasn’t rushing to get ready for school or anything but I argued quite adamantly that it must be morning to my whole family who, unlike I, were actually aware of what time of day it was.
My mom did something like that once on a Friday evening. She took a nap after work, and woke up around 7:30-8pm. My brother and I were on the couch watching Stargate SG-1, and she comes barreling down the hall yelling at us for letting her oversleep and missing doing payroll for her work. She just wouldn’t believe us when we said it was Friday night, and we even tried explaining that we couldn’t be watching Stargate if it were Saturday morning (this was pre-streaming era). It was hilarious.
Sometimes, it’s really obvious that different parts of our brains don’t all wake up at the same time. The deep, inner parts wake up first, but the frontal cortex that enables critical thinking? It can take a few minutes to boot up.
We did a similar prank to a classmate at school.
He fell asleep in the afternoon and got up after school. We started to unpack our stuff and told him that it’s the next morning and he spent the whole night in the classroom.
It didn’t take long for him to figure out, but it was funny.
My sister once fell asleep at that time. She woke up asking what time it was, and I told her that it’s 7:45 and she’s super late for school. It was fun to watch.
If I ever find someone to date again, this is the energy I want her to bring to the relationship. 😍 😔
In return I offer vague sense of misery punctuated by occasional bouts of energy and wit
This is actually hilarious.
This is why I don’t take naps.
This why I don’t have a wife.
This is why I only date people with alopecia.
Dude could’ve just slept in on a weekend and she went out early morning to get the hair done.
2 years? That’s 5 months of hair growth, tops!
Then again she could have gotten any number of haircuts in the meantime so I’ll allow it.
“Groan groan grumble…just a couple more months babe please…zzzzzz”
Definition of “keeper”.
