J Is For… Just Go to Sleep

My husband and I are lying in bed, fiddling on our phones, getting our alarms set, etc. He just downloaded the Steam app and needed to put in a verification code, and was trying to get me to help him remember the letters by using the NATO alphabet.

Husband: “Okay, the code is ‘C’ as in Charlie, 73, ‘J’ as in…wait, what’s ‘J’ again?

He looks at me, and my mind goes numbingly blank.

Me: “…Dj …ang …oooooo?”

Husband: *Blinks.* “Excuse me? Did you just say “Django”? Which doesn’t even start with a ‘J’?”

Me: “Uh… all I can think of is TANGO! But that’s ‘T’! And so, I said Django!”

I bury my face in the pillow.

Me: “I’m going to sleep now.”
