Sometimes Ruby and I can find the smallest things funny. This is one of those things that could have gone either way, but thankfully ended up on the funny side.
We had only been in bed a short time when I felt her move away from me. I realized it was more than just turning over or shifting position, that she was getting up. I called out, “Are you OK?”
It was about then that I heard the thud of her hitting the floor. She hit the floor really hard, not with a graceful thunk but with a multi-thump thud. You know, one of those sounds that sounds like it could result in multiple laughs if it was in a slapstick comedy routine, but this was late at night long after the jokes and gags should end.
My wonderful beautiful wife Ruby had somehow become groggily awake enough to think that she could see that we had left a light on in one of the closets and she was getting up to turn it off. In doing so she somehow missed the step stool that she uses beside our bed. This causes her entire body to plummet in noisy sequence to the floor.
Now my question was even more appropriate as she lay laughing in the floor. I was glad to hear her laugh because I knew she couldn’t be hurt much if she was laughing like that.
She wasn’t hurt but we did have a good laugh.

Too funny!! Glad she’s OK!
