Me: "I was so tired last night, you know, I really did fall asleep at 9."
Mother-in-Law: "Really?"
Me: "Yes. I didn't even get to see Peter at all yesterday."
Mother-in-Law: "That's wonderful!"
I suffer outrageous burst of laughter that results in strong shushing lest I wake the whole house.
Me: "It's wonderful that I didn't get to see Peter yesterday?"
Mother-in-Law: "No, it's wonderful that you were able to get all the sleep. Obviously, you needed it."
