“Beeep. Beeep. Beeep.”

Hitting the snooze button, my barely awake brain hears Lin puttering in the kitchen making coffee.

“Are you making me coffee?!”

“Yes.”

Once the activity in the kitchen has ceased and the cats have had an opportunity to believe they were the ones who woke me up –they like to think it was their jumping around on the bed that finally makes me leave the bed– I stumble to the living room.

“Where’s my coffee?”

“Oh, I didn’t hear you ask if I was making you coffee.”

[audible sigh - visible eye roll]

“Do you want me to make you coffee?”

“No. The magical moment has been broken. I’ll make my own coffee.”
