Can’t Sleep For All The Tea In China

(I’m sleeping at my girlfriend’s house for the first time. She’s warned me that she’s a sleep talker/walker due to medication she takes for insomnia.)

Girlfriend: *slaps my chest* “Wake up!”

Me: “What’s the matter?”

Girlfriend: “Our tea set!”

Me: “What tea set?”

Girlfriend: “The pretentious tea set.”

Me: “How can a tea set be pretentious?”

Girlfriend: “Will you stop asking stupid questions? The tea set is missing!”

(I’ve finally woken up enough to realize she’s sleep talking and I decide to talk her down rather than just ignore her.)

Me: “Well, you said it’s the pretentious one. It’s okay that it’s missing.”

Girlfriend: “It’s okay?”

Me: “Yes, we’ve still got that other tea set. Now go back to bed.”

Girlfriend: “Oh, right, the one made out of butterflies.”

(She had no recollection of this conversation but we’ve both agreed that I will choose the tea set when if time ever comes.)
