Yawn Of The Dead

(I have a bad habit of staying on the phone with my boyfriend too late, leaving me very sluggish and slow-thinking at work the next day. Lately, he’s been trying to beat a video game that takes place during the zombie apocalypse.)

Boyfriend: *texting me* “Good morning, darling.”

Me: “Good morning, sweetheart. I’m a zombie, but it’s worth it for you.”

Boyfriend: “A zombie?”

Me: “I am working zombie-like.”

Boyfriend: “What are you talking about?”

Me: “I know we’ve had this conversation before. I definitely remember you calling me ‘zombecita’.”

Boyfriend: “Honey, don’t be a zombie. I’ve spent the last week dreaming about killing those.”
