…your husband’s gone to bed before you and you’ve stayed up
for hours
writing
or whatever
and now you have the issue
of trying to figure a way into bed
without disturbing him
round the obstacles
or
like tonight
you’ve both watched Michael McIntyre together with a wee
Drambuie
or two
and pissed yourselves laughing
and ideas come for a blog post
and he’s already brushed his teeth
and you’re still writing
so you take your kindle
and your fag
to the bathroom
to have a quick wizz
a toothbrush
and maybe
jot down
that wee idea
because you’ll surely not remember it
in the morning
and do you know the way
sometimes
one of your kids comes out of their room
just as you’re
fag in mouth
kindle in hand
heading to the ladies’
and the fag drops
out of your mouth
onto the floor
and you laugh
because hubs
who’d
already put the feckin’ light out
bastard
says
by light of son’s room
you’re away to write
aren’t you
and I go
yeah
pick my fag up
laugh at my son
with a wink
who laughs back
because
youth
remember my idea
and write
this
thinking
I’m gonna do more
of humour
it’s a laugh
think I might
entitle it
you know the way
‘cos most of us do
I am giggling admittedly.

I know no other way. Curse or commendation, Glasgow it is. 🙂 I’m glad it gave you a chuckle. I must admit to chuckling and cursing simultaneously as I manoeuvre my way back into bed in the wee small hours, trying to be quiet and failing miserably. While hubs pretends not to notice. 😉
