After a long day Hubby and I were getting ready for bed. I had smoothened my moisturiser on my face, massages my feet with body lotion and was about to turn off my bed lamp when he asked me:

• Why are you sleeping like that ?
• Like what ?
• Like that ! You look like Zorro with your mask .
• Well I can’t sleep . All night long the green from the LED of the AC remote glints eerily when I turn to the right . And when I sleep on my back the red LED from the Set Top Box stares unblinkingly at me . And all over the place there’s a weird blue light from the LED on the emergency ringer .
• What is the Emergency ringer ?
• It’s a bell that rings in case case of an emergency if your father needs us in the night .
• You’re weird. Good night Zorro .

The next morning after a blissful sleep , I was greeted by a grumpy Hubby who couldn’t sleep a wink thanks to our disco lighting.

Barely concealing my glee, I asked him

• What happened?
• Couldn’t sleep a wink last night. Blasted light kept shining on my face.
• Oh ! I told you it was impossible. That’s why I fished out the eye mask.
• Can you find one for me too ? I can’t spend another sleepless night .

I went to the cupboard where I’d stashed away all the eye masks collected from my various flights and handed him one .

Tonight there’ll be two of us lying side by side wearing masks of Zorro !
