It’s No Laughing Matter

(I have been reading in bed, and my boyfriend pushes my book on the ground and starts tickling me.)

Me: “Stop it! I want to read!”

Boyfriend: “But I want to kiss you!”

Me: “You can do that while I read!”

Boyfriend: “But you get annoyed when I do that.”

Me: “I’m annoyed now!”

Boyfriend: “But you’re laughing!”

Me: “It’s annoyed laughter.”

Boyfriend: “That’s the best kind, though!”

Me: “It’s the only kind I get with you!”
