Talking To Myself

Me: You always have your eyes and ears in the tv. Him: What? Me: You never hear a word I say. Him: What? Me: What did he just say on the tv? Him: Silence... Me: You sleeping? Him: No I was just resting my eyes. Me: Are you ready for bed? Him: No I'm not sleepy. Him: Snore snore snore... Me: Come on I'm sleepy lets go to bed.
