burning

Me: "If the house started to burn down, after we save the dogs and the turtle, let's make sure we save our wedding scrapbook."

Brad:  With no emotion and as though he hadn't heard what I just said, "I'm going to need your help carrying the TV."

"And maybe the PS3."

Emergency

Brad didn't come when I called him into the room, even though I said it was an emergency. Me "well, now I know how'll you'll respond in a real emergency" B: "no, I'll know it's a real emergency if you don't say anything for 15 or 16 seconds."
