I am in bed, almost asleep, when I get a text message from my wife in the living room at 9:30 PM.
Text message: "The front door is open. I'm scarred"
Of course I instantly know she means 'scared' but I pretend I don't understand.
I respond in a smart alec manner:
"You have scars?"
So I get out of bed and go into the living room. She says the front door is open. I am groggily thinking, does she mean the outside glass or inside wooden door(?). Then I turn around to see that it is most likely both, that the wind blew the wooden door open an inch or so.
Then I am fully awake, and say, "Hold it, you were the last person who came through the door and you are sitting right here a few feet from the doors and you had me come all the way from the bedroom (in my pajamas) to close doors you didn't make sure were closed (an hour ago)?!?!?"
I think by this point she realized the ridiculousness of her request and she put this fake scared little kid face & voice on and said, "I was scared." Yes, it was fake, there was a suppressed smile, too.
I am inappropriately dressed but I still, without fear or revealing myself, close both doors.
I realize several hours later that the dogs didn't say anything.
