The other front

Susanne, you wanted to know how the other front is going? This was a conversation we just had:

Phone rings

Me: good morning
Him: good morning beautiful!
Me:(smiling) how's things
Him: ok. I wanted to call because I was thinking of something
Me: yeah? what were you thinking?
Him: I was wondering if I could ask a favor?
Me: of course
Him: Can Deb and I switch our bed for the king size bed you have in the basement? Our bed is comfy enough it's just not big enough. We can't get comfortable and we wake each other up in the night with tossing and turning.
Me: (dumbfounded) uhh...I don't know. Sarah has been sleeping down there and she likes the king size bed.
Him: Oh, ok....well she wouldn't be without a bed, we'd bring our queen size one over and it's not for us to keep forever just until I can afford to buy a kingsize.
Me: (still dumbfounded) I'm surr she won't mind trading but let me ask her first.
Him: Ok, I'd really appreciate it. I know I can always count on you.
Me: Yeah I'm little Miss Dependable.
Him: (laughing) well....alright. I just wanted to give ya a shout. Call me later ok?
Me: yeah, sure

WTF!! Who's the dummy now??

Typical Earl fashion.
