Characters: Phil, the PowerWife, Youngest
Time: 7:00 AM Saturday morning
Scene: master bedroom
Phil had been up until 2:00 AM setting up a DVD recorder to replace a DVD player that crapped out two weeks ago. The PowerWife and Youngest were sleeping soundly in the master bed.
Disembodied voice: <beeeep> The National Weather Service has issued a severe thuderstorm warning for Watonwan county.
Phil: <sleepily shaking his head> Damn thing!
The PowerWife gets out of bed and sleepily shuffles into the master bath, and gives Phil a dirty look. Upon returning she spies the new toy.
PowerWife: What is that?
Phil: A weather radio.
PowerWife: Shut it off!
