Blanket Panda-monium

(We’re in bed, trying to get to sleep, and my girlfriend rolls over and gets tangled in the blankets. She struggles for a bit, then decides it’s too much effort and just flops face down on the pillows.)

Me: “You’re cute.”

Girlfriend: “I’m useless.”

Me: “Cute like a panda. They’re pretty helpless.”

Girlfriend: “They can’t even be bothered to mate.”

Me: “Cute like an evolutionary cul-de-sac.”

Girlfriend: *giggling* “You say the sweetest things.”
