Shorty and I have very different sleep habits. She likes staying up late at night and waking up really late in the morning. I like sleeping early and waking up early.

Fatty: *jumps under sheets* OK imma go sleep now. Up so early this morning. Now I’m damn sleepy. Come sleep Shorty!
Shorty: Dowan I still got so many things to do.
Fatty: Do tomorrow la, come sleep first.
Shorty: Sleep is for the weak!
Fatty: Oh is that so? Imma say that to you tomorrow morning.
Shorty: HAHA!
*Next morning*
Me: GOOD MORNING SHORTY! RISE AND SHINE!!!!
*Plays the following music loudly next to our bed*
Shorty: *tosses and turns under sheets and grumbles*
Fatty: C’MON SHORTY! WAKE UP! *repeats annoying music again*
Shorty: *grumbles*
Fatty: Annoying right? Just when you think the music is going to stop, it goes on again.

Shorty and me have this thing when either one of us come home, the other will pretend to be fast asleep.E.g.
Shorty *walks into the bedroom*
Me: *eyes closed pretending to sleep*
Shorty: *comes closer to observe*….
Shorty: *notices movement* THIS FATTY AH!!! PRETENDING TO BE ASLEEP AH!! *ruffles hair and hugs and squeeze my big head*
Me: HAHA ok la ok la!
Last night though I decided to go to bed really early because I had to be up early next morning for a con call. When Shorty came home:
Shorty: THIS FATTY AH!! PRETENDING TO BE ASLEEP AGAIN AHH!!! *ruffles hair and hugs and squeezes my big head*.
Me: *grumble*
Shorty: Still want to pretend ah this fatty!
Me: *ignores*
Shorty: *more ruffling continues but I was dead as a corpse*
Today
Me: THIS SHORTY AH! Come back late at night then wake me up say I pretending to be sleeping!! I wanted to say “Bitch I’m fukin sleepin here!”
Shorty: HAHAHA!
Me: When did you realize I really wasn’t pretending to sleep.
Shorty: When you weren’t smiling.
Me: NO SHIT!
